This activity asks the following question: Should the U.S. government pass a flag desecration amendment? 

It includes a deliberation reading and glossary, as well as accompanying handouts to give students additional information on the topic and to guide them through the deliberation process from planning to reflection.  

Note: This is a high school-level resource. An elementary school-level resource (reading level grade 5.0-7.5) is also available.  


Deliberation teaches people how to discuss controversial issues by carefully considering multiple perspectives and searching for consensus. In preparation for deliberations, all participants read common, balanced background information on the issue. During the discourse, they offer arguments for each position on a contested public issue, first drawing from the text and then bringing in their own experiences.
