Protesters burned U.S. flags at American University in D.C. to protest Donald Trump's election as president.
What Does It Mean to Desecrate the Flag? The US flag is sometimes burnt as a symbol of protest, often against the policies of the American government. The flag can also be used in other symbolic ways, such as wearing it in an offensive manner or, as in this case, displaying it upside-down. While burning a flag is actually an action, a non-verbal act makes a similar statement. And it is protected as symbolic speech under the First Amendment.
