Unfortunately, the actual law on free speech is far from clear in the US. Lawyers have, over time, massively corrupted the concept of free speech in the US, to the point that actual laws regarding free speech are understood by only a few. If you take a bar exam, you'll find that free speech questions are some of the most tricky to answer because of all the case law you have to know in order to see how this simple concept has been twisted around. This actually goes for most "constitutional law" in general, but the abuse of the concept of free speech is particularly egregious (probably because it's the most "dangerous" to established viewpoints).
