From My Way News:
“The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a constitutional amendment that would give Congress the power to ban desecration of the American flag, a measure that for the first time stands a chance of passing the Senate as well.”
Any time our legislators move to amend the Constitution, I feel a pang of anxiety. Yes, burning the U.S. flag is abominable, but people should be free to express themselves, as long as it’s done in a safe way in a place where such expression does not constitute trespassing. What’s next? Will persons be fined or jailed for flushing the Q’uran or the Bible down a toilet?

Don’t be so melodramatic.
Burning a Q’uran sends you to jail.
Burning a Bible just sends you to art school, where you will learn to urinate on it first, then burn it, then take pictures and sell the results to fawning collectors in New York.
