Our Right to Burn the American Flag is the Best Reason Not to Do It
It is a Bold Freedom of Speech Affirmation

Our right to burn the American flag -- which the 1989 Supreme Court ruled is protected under the Fist Amendment -- is the best reason not to do it.
This right is a bold affirmation that freedom of speech is what sustains democracy. It must never be compromised.
