The First Amendment protects cross burning as well as flag burning.


From my understanding, Virginia vs Black upheld that cross-burning was not protected under the First Amendment.

I believe that would only apply when cross-burning is used as a method of intimidation. If some atheist were to burn a cross out of simple protest of religion with no intent to intimidate, it would probably be protected.
