Bill aims to ban placing American flag on floor
Senate bill introduced by Sen. Thomas Dunn would amend state law to outlaw placing the American flag on the floor, arguing the flag is a symbol not mere cloth and current penalties do not address floor placement. Critics call it antagonistic to art and free speech, while veterans argue limits on first amendment rights.
