AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.3
What could be an alternative outcome had Texas v. Johnson (1989) decided burning the American flag wasn't a protected form of symbolic speech?
Hand gestures or body language couldn't be considered as a form of communication anymore.
Other forms of expressive conduct may not be protected under the First Amendment.
All symbolic speeches would receive full legal protection.
Burning any flag would become illegal nationwide.
