"except where such speech is directed to inciting imminent lawless action"

This isn't specific to hate speech, why is it included in the opening of this entry?Everett3 (talk) 20:41, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Everett3 It is there because of the fact that this statement captures a notable exception that applies overwhelmingly within this context of things. Thus, it is an important exception within the purview of the subject matter. 2605:A601:4515:F400:71DB:FB92:39E0:1DD1 (talk) 06:51, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

College campus "speech codes"

A number of US colleges and universities have instituted "speech codes" to regulate speech that the adminstration does not want. Some of these have been taken to court. Some of these speech codes have be rescinded. I think this is worth including in this article. Who feels qualified to write on this topic?? Pete unseth (talk) 14:15, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Error in Constitutional framework section

This sentence doesn't seem to make sense: "Later, when the court heard Beauharnais v.Illinois,[5] establishing the narrow traditional exception to the first amendment covering those words which by their very utterances tend to inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace.[6]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:743:4100:6240:58ED:824:2DFE:B96B (talk) 18:11, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
