In Texas v. Johnson, the use of flag burning in protest was ruled protected speech under the First Amendment.

Explanation:

The conflict of the Texas v. Johnson case (1989) originated when American Gregory Lee Johnson burned a U.S. flag in front of the Dallas City Hall as a way of protest against the government. After the event, he was tried and convicted for violating a Texas law that outlawed flag desecration. Eventually, the case went to the Supreme Court.

In the Court, it was determined that burning or desecrating an American flag  to protest was a form of free speech protected under the First Amendment and that just because certain ideas or forms of expressions are deemed offensive or disagreeable by society, does not mean they can be prohibited.

The Court also held that state officials did not have the authority to designate symbols (like the flag) to be used to communicate limited sets of messages.
