No, it’s just a piece of cloth that doesn’t represent what it should

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The ideology of Freedom of Information strongly supports the principles of free speech and expression, as enshrined in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Making it illegal to burn the American flag would be seen as a direct violation of these principles. Historical references include the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Texas v. Johnson (1989), where the Court ruled that flag burning constitutes symbolic speech that is protected by the First Amendment.

Yes, and it should be illegal to burn any nation’s flag

Making it illegal to burn any nation's flag would be seen as a significant infringement on free speech and expression from the perspective of the Freedom of Information ideology. This stance opposes the ideology's fundamental belief in the importance of protecting the freedom of expression universally, not just within the context of the United States. The ideology would likely reference the importance of upholding these freedoms as essential to democracy and human rights globally.
