I really like singing, especially in public (I am not bad, I take vocal lessons too), and yesterday I was singing songs about Christmas and America while waiting to be picked up from school. First I am singing "God Bless America" and a younger girl comes up and starts harrassing me and my friend. Later, I am singing "Holly Jolly Christmas" and when I am done, another girl walks past and says to me "I'm a Jew" with the most hateful look in her eyes. (I thought they were all about peace!) I am not really religious (I just celebrate widely celebrated holidays).
Would it be okay to shout profanities when they do this?

I is not OK to use profanity for any reason.
In the meantime, you go right ahead and sing whenever you feel like it. I wish more people would. You don't even need a great singing voice. Funny, I don't even hear the guys whistling tunes in this country either. Where I came from in the UK singing & whistling (sometimes opera) goes on all the time and nobody thinks anything about it. Definitely a lot of singing after the pubs close and people are uninhibited and happy.

No, sorry, but it would not be OK to respond to rudeness with worse rudeness. What you suggest might easily escalate into violence, which would definitely NOT be "all about peace''! It would probably be a good idea to sing more softly in places like bus stops* and reserve the full benefit of your trained voice for occasions like recitals and caroling in nursing homes.
*Pretty as your voice may be, it's not considerate to treat others to it when they have no alternative, even if you do sound better than than a boombox or half of a cell phone conversation.

Don't shout profanities. Just single the dreidel song at the top of your lungs instead.

1. It's never acceptable to shout profanities.
2. Just because you take voice lessons doesn't mean you sound good when you sing, it just means you have better technique.

First time I heard "One Time" "What a lovely tune. Does any one understand the identify of the little woman that sings this?" A month later, I noticed the little boy at a charity occasion. "That's the tune and that is the character who sings it? Wow."
