2 things

1. It is your responsibility, not the government's to monitor what your children listen to, etc. and sorry but parenting is a 24-7 job. Your being upset by your child listening to a KKK broadcast is in opposition to your statement of them making their own informed judgements.By definition to make an informed judgement one must hear both sides of an issue.

2. You can not interfere with anyones right to be an asshole

I disagree 100% about unchecked free speech. Because like every thing else the government takes it too far.

Censorship of words, leads to censorship of ideas, governmental control of thought is something I would rather live without.

It has been tried a few times in history, Hitler and Stalin come to mind.
