Explanation:

Subsequent to the Texas vs. Johnson case, it was drawn to conclusion the fact that the American Flag stands for Tolerance.

Johnson was a a member of the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade who, in 1984, burnt the American Flag, going against the law in Texas which prohibited the destruction of sacred objects (such as the national flag).

The Supreme Court though decided to appeal on the First Amendment, considering his actions freedom of speech. It also added that, nevertheless, the flag should be treated respectfully.
