It’s OK to protest;
do it respectfully
My flag, national anthem and pledge of allegiance do not represent any governmental entity, political agenda or ruling institution. They represent ideas and concepts such as freedom, liberty and personal choice.
People have died trying to ensure these ideas and concepts are actually rights for the citizens of the country these symbols represent.
Patriotism does not mean you agree with everything that is happening within your country. Patriotism exists despite the things you disagree with.
My flag, national anthem and pledge are representations of patriotism and the ideal of what America stands for, not some corrupt entity that appears to oppress any given demographic.
