The term Freedom of Speech has a definition that can only be interpreted by the United States Judicial Systems.  There are also some administrative lawmaking agencies and Legislators who attempt to interpret the Constitution and create regulations or laws, but in the end, the Judicial System has the final authority in regulating Individual Freedoms.

It is a very simple principle that is pretty much self-explanatory.  It has been found in Supreme Courts and Federal Courts around the country that other rights of a community are more protected than the rights to free speech of an individual.  This also helps alter the morals of the communities which is something many people are hoping to do for the younger generations.
