It can be seen as a denouncement of America and there would be no reason to purposefully burn a flag other than to make a anti-american statement.

The American flag is the Flag of our nation and is therefore the flag of the American people and we should not let people disrespect and destroy the flag.

People have the right to have issues with america, and that’s fine, I’ll argue, but it’s fine. My issue is when it turns to actual violence or legislation that I have problems.

In 1989, in the case Texas v. Johnson, the Supreme Court ruled that flag burning is a form of expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment. The decision emphasized that the government cannot prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds it offensive or disagreeable. By classifying flag burning as symbolic speech, the court affirmed that the act communicates a particular message and is entitled to constitutional protection.

we shouldn't let people burn the American flag. its disrespectful and ignorant, many fought for that flag and you act like nothings up with it.

This country gave you free speech and to disgrace the flag (symbol) is the complete opposite of what the meaning is meant for.
@9JQG3V8Independent 3mos3MO
if you want respect for your rights in this country do not disrespect our symbol of independence and giving of that right
@9JGZ78R3mos3MO
The flag represents our nation, and no matter what is going on you should not burn it, it doesn't matter if you believe it is a violation of freedom of speech, you should respect your country and the people that fought for it

Burning the flag is an act against America. There would be no other reason to burn an American document.
