This Flag Is Not for Burning

This article focuses on issues reeling around the flag desecration in the United States. Despite the Supreme Court's rulings-and despite the 1990 trouncing of the President George Bush administration's effort to "protect" the flag with a constitutional amendment, alleged flag desecrators continue to be prosecuted, persecuted and harassed throughout the country. The strangest and most prolonged flag desecration controversy erupted in the fall of 1991 at Elk Grove High School, near Sacramento, where a dispute over a mural depicting a burning flag, is still going strong after nearly three years of contention, litigation, debates by the local school board and the suspensions of almost fifty students.
