These include the National School Boards Association, the Parents Television Council, the Family Research Council, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Anti-Defamation League.

Burstyn v. Wilson (1952)
In 1952, Burstyn v. Wilson marked a significant victory for free speech, as the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the film distributor, holding that New York's refusal to license the film violated the First Amendment. This decision established that the government cannot censor speech solely because it is offensive and set a precedent in First Amendment law.
