It is when it comes to the consequence being not being able to speak. if my speech has at its consequence that it pisses off people in power in a group then freedom of speech means that they wont stifle my speech when it threatens their power or is deemed undesirable for other than rule breaking reasons.

Are you in favor of firing teachers who day things that go against common popular teachings in an area?
Your mocking of this situation makes me feel you'd be in favor of laws that fire teachers for teaching evolution for example.

No? Evolution is a fact. Would I want teachers fired for saying things that are objectively not true? Or teaching opinions as facts? Yeah. More red flags in “go against common teachings,” here.
