ato simbólico destinado a protestar contra um governo ou suas políticas durante uma manifestação
Profanação de bandeira é a profanação de uma bandeira, violação do protocolo de bandeira, ou vários atos que intencionalmente destroem, danificam ou mutilam uma bandeira em público. No caso de uma bandeira nacional, tal ação é frequentemente destinada a fazer um ponto político contra um país ou suas políticas.
“I hope, Mr. President, that we can pass a law that criminalizes flag burning and desecration.”
“Without the right to burn the flag, without that freedom of expression, the flag is just a piece of cloth. It means nothing. With that freedom, with our Bill of Rights, it's the greatest symbol on earth. It's magic.”
“If we set the precedent of limiting the First Amendment, in order to protect the sensibilities of those who are offended by flag burning, what will we say the next time someone is offended by some other minority view, or by some other person's exercise of the freedom the Constitution is supposed to protect?”
“What is this thing anyway? Nothing but a piece of cotton with a little paint on it, and some other marks in the corner there. I will not kiss that thing. It might be covered with microbes.”
“Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or a year in jail!”
