The freedom of speech, as protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, has certain limitations. These include restrictions related to national security, public safety, harassment, defamation, obscenity, and child pornography. It's important to note that not all forms of speech are protected, and the Brandenburg test sets a high bar for restricting speech. Balancing these limits with the right to free speech is crucial.

Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969)
Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) affirmed students' constitutional rights to free speech at school, but also allowed schools to regulate disruptive or harmful speech. Protected speech includes protesting, distributing political materials, and writing op-eds, while regulated speech includes offensive clothing, disruptive speeches, and threats of violence.
