Why are Americans so sensitive about the desecration of their flag?
Is there a difference between physical desecration of the flag and using it in art or political protest?
While some may see the physical desecration of the flag as a more serious offense, using it in art or political protest is still seen by many Americans as disrespectful. However, the US Supreme Court has ruled that free speech protections allow for peaceful protest, such as flag-burning, even if it is seen as offensive or distasteful to some.
