Generally, yes, but disruptive speech at school isn't protected.

Article suggests it was posted online.

When you find yourself defending racial slurs and similar hate speech, you’re not winning. Just saying.

(NP) My honest and fervent belief is that the speech we disagree with the strongest is what's most important for us to protect.

Good luck doing this in Fredneck. I guarantee this kid's dad was part of a MAGA truck parade.

Doesn’t matter. Still a problem.

You can disagree with someone and not like what they have to say, but you don't have to be a hateful prick. Hate speech is not and should not be protected. Also, I think you're confusing free speech (the ability to say something without legal consequences) and idiot speech (sure, you're not going to end up in jail for it but the social repercussions are going to get you). So....I am a fervent proponent of POLITICAL free speech but not hateful, idiotic free speech.
