Yes, the burning of the American flag should be outlawed. Burning the flag, even in protest to make a point, is not respectful to those who served for our country. Some believe that the flag is just another flag and that companies make many flags a day, why is it so important? It is not about the physical flag, it is about what the flag represents. For our country, it represents freedom along with other things. In Texas v. Johnson it spoke about both sides of this argument, Texas’ and Johnson’s. In today’s world, we have people peacefully protesting then it goes bad, or gets violent, some where the flag has been burned. To possibly stop things from getting violent, outlaw burning the flag, it may help.
