If the government can tell you that you cannot burn a flag (or desecrate it in other ways), then they can tell you cannot read a book or you cannot say something “hateful”, or that you have to bake a cake with a motif that goes against your religion, etc.
Be careful what you ask for.
You cannot piecemeal 1A. That is how we have gotten the infringements to our 1A rights we have gotten so far and it is how there will be more in the future.
