As long as you can still burn the American flag there, I'm ok with this.

Would you cry if I burned a Grateful Dead flag?

Who cares what flag gets burned or not. It's just a piece of cloth no matter what colors are printed on it.

yea guys quit hating on the mexicans. I live in south texas I know mexicans. Mostly they are good people. Alot better than most of the white deuchebags in Texas.
Also who cares either way if you can fly a flag. ITs a fucking peice of cloth it doesnt change who you are or where you put your allegiance. I admit its kind of shitty that a school banned its own nations flag, but its a free country whatever floats their boat I guess.
people let things bother them entirely too much.

If it's just a fucking piece of cloth, why do people go to the trouble of burning it? Why not burn just any old piece of cloth?

Don't you love the irony? A lot of Lefties look down upon the inclination of patriotic people to use a symbol in order to rally around something, yet they have their own symbols and they readily support the destruction of other symbols that represent things that they happen to not agree with.

I don't look down upon people rallying around a symbol. But what's so bad about destroying symbols? I mean, I'm not a flag burner because I still support the American government (even though I hate its guts 95% of the time), and besides I find flag burning kind of tasteless.
But is it wrong to otherwise destroy symbols? If you saw a KKK poster on your street would you tear it down, or would it be more productive to post an anti-KKK poster next to it? What about the famous footage of American troops blowing up the 50-foot swastika at Nuremberg? Was that a mistake?
I'm interested to hear responses.

Tearing down the Klan poster, destroying the Nazi symbol, or burning a flag accomplish nothing except showing ignorance, hate, and close-mindedness. Tasteless acts, but each individual has the right to act a fool

It's also a way for those who have no means to express their voice or lack intellectual capacity a way to "voice" their dissent.
