Free Speech / Censorship

The first amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people to peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The government cannot limit your right to express your views and beliefs, but it must be done in a peaceful manner. Freedom of speech does not mean one can tear down statues of George Washington to express views or beliefs.
