@cbsnews: “If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail, no early exits,” President Trump said Monday as he signed an executive order banning flag burning. The order argues the act “may incite violence and riot,” despite the Supreme Court’s 1989 ruling that flag burning is protected under the First Amendment. #america #americanflag #flag #trump #usa

Someone educate me! I was taught when a flag is worn and needs replaced you don’t throw it away.. you take it down with it touching the ground and burn it completely.. is that wrong ? What should you do disrespect it by throwing in the trash?

Christopher Charles :

Texas v. Johnson (1989), the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that burning the American flag is a form of symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment. The Court held that the Texas law prohibiting flag desecration was unconstitutional because it violated Johnson's right to free expression, even though his actions were offensive to many witnesses.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
