Flag-Burning Teacher: A Lesson In Free Speech

FYI, those small novelty "flags" are not actually US Flags. They are not subject to the same rules and one is not required to treat them with the same respect as a true flag.
Now, that is not to say that one should not treat one that is being used as a flag with respect, and as Scouts, when we had small flags, once they were placed on a tent or other property as a flag, we treated them as such. But, while in a box or just lying around as a toy... not a flag.
