Flag Burnign I belief that if it is a person wants to burn the flag for even the stupidest reason he should be able to do so with out any percussions. There should not be any reason for the government to prohibit the burning of flags On June 22, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved HJR 303 codifying the existing customs governing the display and use of the flag. Congress signed the bill into law on December 22, 1942. The text of the flag code is contained in Title 36 of the United States Code under subsections 170–178. In 1989, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in favor of the rights of Gregory Johnson, who had been convicted of violating a Texas law by burning a U.S. Flag. In response to this and a similar 1990 Supreme Court decision, the U.S. Congress attempted to pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, granting the states the right to pass such laws, regardless of the previous decisions of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, you see, considers burning the American Flag an act which is protected by the first amendment right to free speech.
