[edit] Re: Flag Desecration Amendment

Greetings - although plenty of cases involve sanctions of students, I have not heard of an arrest for "failure to salute the flag, refusal to pledge allegiance to the flag, [or] speaking contemptuously of the flag" - can you provide evidence of such? Cheers! BD2412 T 15:04, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Sure! Not just arrests, but Supreme Court cases. STREET v. NEW YORK, 394 U.S. 576 (1969) (speaking contemptuously) WEST VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION v. BARNETTE, 319 U.S. 624 (1943) (refusal to salute the flag, in which Jehovah's Witnesses were arrested, but the SC ruled the law unconstitutional) Minersville School District v. Gobitis, 310 U.S. 586 (which UPHELD the law forcing students to salute.)

Hope that helps WarrenA 13:25, 23 May 2006 (UTC)WarrenA
