Flag Protection Fails Again
LIBRARY NEWS

Make You Giggle, which has been

and illustrated by Victoric

of Mr. and Mrs. Dokken of Odem
and daughter of Dr. and Mrs.

We have two new adult
novels. Written In Fire by William
L. DeAndrea who is a three time
Edgar Allen Poe Award winner, is
a wild west mystery that takes
place in the frontier days of
Wyoming.The second book,
ShockWave is by Clive Cussler who
is a favorite of many readers,
mostly men.
For 200 years, Americans have
been fighting and dying for the
ideals our flag represents. I
believed our nation's banner
occupies a special place in the
hearts and minds of Americans. It
is a symbol of what we have
struggled to create and defend.
So when the Senate failed to
get the 67 votes necessary to pass
a Constitutional amendment to
ban desecration of the American
flag on December 12, I was
disappointed.
Nearly 80 percent of the
American people say they favor
such an amendment, and 49 of the
50 states have asked for its
approval. This matter is not going
to go away.
The honor of our flag is worthy
of the spotlight this continuing
national debate has cast on it.
Some people make the dead-end
argument that if you support a
Constitutional amendment to
protect the flag, as I do, you are
either attempting to undermine
free speech or have taken refuge
beneath the least sophisticated
and most narrow-minded kind of
patriotism. I reject such
assertions. None of our right,

including our First Amendment
rights are absolute.
To my mind, it is highly
appropriate for the people of the
United States to take measures to
protect their flag from
disrespectful or contemptuous
treatment. Certain actions so
offend the sacred values of other
that they deserve sanction-and
the desecration of the American
flag is one of them. Such
"speech," if it is indeed such, is
the moral equivalent of drawing a
swastika on a synagogue—and
performed in the same spirit.
Those who dishonor the flag
destroy not only a symbol, but
insult the memory of those who
have died defending it, and inflict
intolerable pain upon their
survivors. This is activity on a par
with racial taunts, religious
intolerance or incitements to
violence. Our society has the right
to defend what is a symbol of our
country. Our society has the right
to say, "No more."
Flag burning, itself, is an act of
profound intolerance. The flag is
an enduring reminder of the
noblest notions that form our
nation-liberty, justice, loyalty and
sacrifice. It is a symbol with
which all Americans, regardless
of race, language, or creed can
identify and in which many find
solace. We should not allow this
great unifying factor of our
national life to be the object of
legally sanctioned disrespect or
desecration.
