In this video Heimler walks you through Unit 3 topic 3 (3.3) of the AP Government curriculum which deals with the first amendment's protection of the freedom of speech. None of our civil liberties is absolute, and so even free speech has limits.
The Supreme Court has established limits for speech over time. In the required case Schenck v. United States, the Court ruled in favor of silencing speech if it was deemed a "clear and present danger." In Morse v. Frederick, the Court ruled that speech could be silenced in schools if it promoted illegal drug activity. On the other hand, in Tinker v. Des Moines, the Court ruled in favor of students who wanted to use symbolic speech to protest the Vietnam War. The most recent iteration of a test to silence speech is the Brandenburg Test.
