Texas v.

Johnson (1989)

Complete the following: I don’t think it is okay to burn the American flag because every soldier that fought in war
represents that flag or the flag represents them and what they have done for the flag and this country. Would you
think it’s fair if you had a flag of your own meaning and someone goes out of their way to burn it. You would be
very upset and regret supporting the American Flag. That is very disrespectful to everything they have done for
you and your freedom. I do not support it and I agree with the Texas case but then if it is protected then I don’t
know there is nothing to do about it.

Opinion: Act as a Supreme Court justice and write an opinion for this case. Choose the side you agree with more and
write a summary explaining why you would rule in that party’s favor. Support your opinion with reasons. Please use
your own words and brain.
