Yes.
Quote:The United States Supreme Court in Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), and reaffirmed in U.S. v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990), has ruled that due to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, it is unconstitutional for a government (whether federal, state, or municipality) to prohibit the desecration of a flag, due to its status as "symbolic speech."
BTW, the people who "own" the statue are not the ones filing the charge.
You can desecrate your own American Flag. If you take my American flag and burn it.....your could be charged with theft, vandalism, or perhaps even arson.

If we arrest everyone who offends others the makers of South Park would be in prison.
The writers of South Park don't desecrate other peoples property. This kid desecrated someone else's property....an important element that you are ignoring.
