Free speech is not the first amendment, the first amendment is not free speech.
>it’s a commonly held belief in America that everyone’s speech is free and should be free
Seems more like the commonly held belief in America is that MY speech is free but your speech maybe shouldn't be. The school children might have a differing opinion on the teacher's "right to free speech" after the teacher calls them "stupid cunts".
Turns out that even the "free speech" platforms are not so free: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200627/23551144803/as-predicted-parler-is-banning-users-it-doesnt-like.shtml https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200627/23551144803/as-pr...
And of course, the head of the Republican party is also against free speech when they don't like the speech: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-06-24/column-trump-revives-banning-flag-burning https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-06-24/column-trum...
