 grammar sentence help please! How do i fix this sentence?
However, the First Amendment says that although every person can say what they wish, it discludes harmful and hateful pictures or texts.
is this right?

I doubt that the Supreme Court would agree with your interpretation, because what is harmful or hateful to one person may be a thing of beauty to another. However, if you are asking about the grammar, "disclude" is not a word. "Excepts" (makes an exception for, or does not include) is better.

 Re: grammar sentence help please! How do i fix this sentence?
No, it's not right for a couple of reasons...
"every person" is singular, and then you have "they" (plural). So you could either do "every person can say what he or she wishes" OR you could write "although people can say what they wish"
As others have noted, "discludes" is not common usage. It's better to go with "does not include"
But even that isn't great. You should write, "it does not cover a person's right to produce harmful pictures or texts."

change discludes to excludes (discludes isn't a word) otherwise, I think it looks fine.
