of speech, but does it give somebody the right to burn the flag? Gregory Lee Johnson was sentenced one year in prison and was fined $2,000 for burning the U.S flag at a convention in Dallas in 1984. The Texas vs. Johnson case was taken to Supreme Court and the court has determined that burning the flag is a criminal offense, they also had to prove how it isn’t related to the first amendment, and how prohibiting the desecration of the flag was narrowly tailored to furthering this interest.…

acceptance. I think in Texas vs. Johnson, American Flag Stands For Tolerance, and The First Amendment they all show great key examples of where diversity stood, but everyone listened and worked together to accept that. If you are unfamiliar with Texas Vs. Johnson it's an article dealing with this situation that was brought to the supreme court's attention. Texas wanted to lock up Mr.Johnson for burning the American Flag. “The way to preserve the flags special role is not to punish those who…

someone burn the flag sickens me. It provokes feelings of anger and disgust. But punishing citizens for using their personal property to express their personal views violates the very ideas that animate our constitution with meaning.” People are affected from unpatriotic people in direct and indirect ways. A citizen could be made an example of by a single individual who simply is upset with our country. For example, Armstrong Williams says, “Chabot has a point. Watching someone burn the flag…

In the back of the school there are pathways that connect from the school’s back parking lots into what looks like a fairly nice subdivision. There is a lot more trash strewn about in the back of the school and there are a few kids walking from the parking lot down the path to the subdivision. The school has several fields located through out the back of the school. One field is large and has soccer goals at either end of the field, and the other field has two football goals at each end,…

Don’t “Take a Knee” Lately, the news has been filled with strongly opinionated editorials discussing a recent protest. The protest is against police brutality and the general racial injustices present in America today, and it was perpetrated by NFL players across the country by kneeling during the National Anthem. This action has been quite controversial; many people argue it is wrong because the National Anthem should be respected, while others reiterate the First Amendment and emphasize the…

The NFL has recently received a lot of media/political attention in the last year. About a year ago, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick refused to stand during the playing of the National Anthem and he was kneeling while it was playing. His reasoning for why he was kneeling was to protest against police brutality and racism that is going on across the country. Last year, there were not many NFL players who supported Kaepernick and his form of protest, but this year there…

it down. Furthermore, I made a hashtag that reads “#U-R-RESPONSIBLE-4-U” which is hinting at the fact that no one is to blame except for themselves for how they have become. I placed this carefully right on one of the red stripes from the American flag tint on the man. This is also strategically placed because the man in the picture has a plumber’s crack showing and it draws your eyes to that point and makes it hard to look away. The hashtag is placed directly above that so that they will read…

Donald Trump said Two dozen NFL players continue to kneel during the National Anthem, showing total disrespect to our Flag & Country. No leadership in NFL!” Trump has a very good point. What kind of leadership is the NFL showing right now? Many people lost their lives for our flag., the east someone can do it sand for it. Trump also stated, “players to be fired if they disrespected the flag.” If all those soldiers did not fight for us would there be a NFL, would there be a right to play in the…

by this controversy. NFL players on the biggest platform, national television, have chosen to partake in the protests. No American should protest the flag and the national anthem because, the anthem and flag are the one thing that all Americans share, it sets a bad example for youth, and it disrespects our troops and veterans. By protesting the flag and anthem, Americans throw away the few things that bring this country together. The united states is already so divided with racism and other…
