Flag Burning v. Cross Burning


Was inspired for the first time today in my First Amendment class to speak up. We were debating whether the burning of an American flag is protected by the freedom of speech... I, of course, think it is. But then we were asked whether the burning of a cross in front of an African-American church is, and of course, I said no. Liberal hypocrite? I think not. At least that was my argument.

Leave it to issues of war and race to get me all fired up!
