I'm sorry. I wasn't specifically interested in flag burning.
The past few days I've heard a lot about Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand for the national anthem. People even in Seattle are condemning him even though they mention "it's his constitutional right" not to. Which is absurd because no one is compelled to stand, or take off their hat, or put their hand over their heart.
As far as I can tell, the 1st amendment protects our ability to dissent, either by spoken or written word. I've read that the interpretation broadened with the signing of international treaties on human rights.
It's my opinion that people should be more understanding of Kaepernick's protest. To his credit, it's a peaceful one.
