The Flag of the United States is often used in symbolic defacement, often in protest of the policies of the American government, both within the country and abroad.
Defacing a flag is an act of protected speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, as established in Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), and reaffirmed in U.S. v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990).
