Flag Burning


In the United States of America it is legal to burn our country flag. In the case of Texas v Johnson, after Johnson was originally convicted because of a Texan law outlawing flag-burning, the Supreme Court then found that this act is protected under the First Amendment. Johnson said that he burned the flag as a means of protest against the Reagan administration policies; however, i feel that burning the flag does not protest just a President's actions, but the whole country in general. I feel that burning the American flag is disrespectful to our country. If you do burn our flag it sends the message that you don't like America and if a person really doesn't like American that much, then there are other places to live. There are other ways to speak your mind without burning the flag of our home.
