Three easy examples are the Court’s holding that it’s ok to jail people who exercise their free speech in opposition to the draft, to advocate communism or criticize a wartime government.

I’m not familiar with these cases — can you elaborate or provide links?

Why certainly.
Espionage Act
Sedition Act
Red Scare
As expressed in another area of this blog, facts to back up claims are great.

Well, okay, but most of those were later overturned or corrected.
Specifically in schools Tinker upheld student rights to protest the Vietnam War, although the bizarre Bong Hits 4 Jesus case seemed to curtain the free speech a bit.
Hopefully the Doninger case will be pursued further.
