the American flag Offense people?
I don't know of any one that's Offend by the American flag in the United States any way.
The Confederate flag yes but as they were traitors to the United States I see it as a vary un-American flag.
People do often have a problem with what the government is doing or not doing and protesting doing things like kneeling for the national anthem as a peaceful protest against police brutality and racism.
Is kneeling really disrespecting the flag?
A lot of people kneel to pray are they disrespecting God when they do it?
Are people burning them or is it about people putting them on bathing suits and things.
🤔The law does say "The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery." so I can see that.

I knew most of these because my brothers had to learn them for boy scout but "The flag should never be used for advertising purposes" is news to me. I remember them having to learn how to fold it the right way sometime they would let me help them do it.
We have a lot of cultures in America. All of them are by definition America cultures because they are in and come from America.
🤔 Or is this about countries like Pakistan that we give money to? I can see that.

The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
(c)
The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
(d)
The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(f)
The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.

It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j)
No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
