Unprotected Speech Try yelling “Fire!” in a crowded Theater
Incitement
The Supreme Court has held that “advocacy of the use of force” is unprotected when it is “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action” and is “likely to incite or produce such action.”
Fighting Words and Offensive Speech
U.S. Supreme Court Won’t Hear Challenge To Morgan Hill School’s American Flag Ban (2015)
2010 a school refused to allow students wearing American Flag T-shirts onto school property. They were told to remove the shirts, turn them inside-out, or leave the school. This was a clear violation of their Freedom of Speech. Reason:  The School didn’t want to offend Mexican students since it was “Cinco-de-Mayo” day. This went to the courts. A Lower Court agreed with the School and stated that the T-shirts were Not Free Speech, as they might “incite violence, anger from the (allegedly) affected Mexicans.” 3

4. Is this…
Incitement?
Offensive Speech?
Fighting Words? 4

5. H.J.Res 61 (The Flag Amendment) will say?
UNPROTECTED SPEECH!?
"The very act of flag-burning can trigger suppressed PTSD emotions and violent uncontrolled responses, all inflicted by those presently “protected” by a disconnected Supreme Court. The Supreme Court and the Constitution should not protect those individuals who have taken what the courts call “symbolic free speech” and turned it into inciting lawless actions and violent speech. These actions disallow and clearly remove the “veil” of protection given by the courts."
H.J.Res 61 (The Flag Amendment) will say?
"The Congress shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration
of the flag of the United States.“
It allows Congress to define “desecration” by Law and be Constitutionally upheld. Previously, The Flag Amendment missed passage by one Senate Vote! 5
