Does the Cameron board of education respect your freedom of speech?

Does the Cameron board of education truly respect your uninhibited freedom of speech?  Or do some of them believe there are limits?  Should a public body, or specifically members of that body, be calling for their constituents to curb their freedom of speech because the topics turn our stomachs?

We get freedom even in these topics that sometimes turn our stomachs.

Pam Ice, board president of Cameron school district, at 29 August 2023 board meeting

Below is a video clip taken from the special meeting of the board of education on the evening of August 29, 2023. In the meeting Pam spoke after Ann and Jackie, but I include her part in this clip first. Freedom is scary. But Pam is right, it is what our nation was founded upon.

Several grievances have been filed with the district alleging 1st and 14th amendment violations relating to freedom of speech issues. Perhaps there is true merit to those allegations and they should be taken seriously.
