GIve Freedom but HOW MUCH?

How much should freedom of speech be protected? In the North the hanging of a Confederate flag seem to cause more attention than the hanging of the very same flag in the south. Coming from Jasper County the Confederate flag is see just as much as the American flag. Someone hanging this flag is their way of expressing themselves and even if an issue were to arise from this it would not change the way this person felt. The only change that would possibly happen is just where this person decided to hang their flags. The articles is for protecting freedom of speech so I agree with the article, but this also means that those who are against this one individual who has this flag have the right to express just how much they do towards the individual.  The main problem with freedom of speech is controlling just how much should be said or done. With race still being as such a hot topic as it is today I believe that this individual with the flag should express the way he feels with the flag inside his home rather than where the public can see it. So freedom of speech should be protected just to a certain extent.
