Old Glory Only Act
12/15/2023, 3:53 PM
Summary of Bill HR 146
The Old Glory Only Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 146, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to require that only the flag of the United States, commonly referred to as the "Old Glory," be flown at federal buildings and installations.
If passed, this bill would prohibit the display of any other flag or banner at these locations, including state flags, military flags, or flags representing specific causes or organizations. The bill aims to promote unity and patriotism by emphasizing the importance of the American flag as a symbol of the nation.
Supporters of the Old Glory Only Act argue that it is important to prioritize the display of the US flag in order to show respect for the country and its values. They believe that allowing other flags to be flown alongside the American flag can dilute its significance and detract from its importance. Opponents of the bill, however, argue that it infringes on the rights of individuals and groups to express their own identities and beliefs through the display of flags that are meaningful to them. They argue that the diversity of flags represents the diversity of the American population and should be celebrated rather than restricted. Overall, the Old Glory Only Act is a controversial piece of legislation that raises questions about the balance between promoting national unity and respecting individual freedoms. It remains to be seen whether this bill will ultimately be passed into law.
