Freedom of Speech at a School Board Meeting
New York Times v. Sullivan (1964)
"The Supreme Court, in an opinion written by Justice William Brennan, reviewed the matter 'against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.'"
--Cornell Law School, Legal Information Institute
