Should burning our country's flag be illegal?
I know a lot of people get outraged when they see someone burning the American Flag. But Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Code established in 1942
says this-
"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."
Should we honor the rules set in place for proper flag etiquette or outlaw flag burning?
