Question

Why should flag burning not be protected by the first amendment?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

This act is protected under the First Amendment, although it is rude and offensive, and when seen as in a political view, almost like a threat to whoever's country the flag is from.

It is protected because it shows "symbolic speech", which is protected under the amendment.

An example of symbolic speech that was used was seen with the Tinker v. Des Moines Supreme Court Case. The case was that students at a school were wearing black armbands to symbolize their opinion on the Vietnam war. Tinker won the case because they are allowed free speech. They also didn't speak about it or make any remark about the war, which helped in them winning the case.

Opinions that can be made against the protection of this act is that it is offensive to people, and seen as disrespectful from whoever.
