Depends where you live and what laws govern such actions in your country. Some countries take any form of political protest very seriously and may punish people quite severely for even minor and mild dissention. Other places may or may not have laws against the burning of flags but choose not to enforce them unless the situation is considered to warrant it. A national flag is simply a graphic realization of a symbol representing that nation and, as such, cannot be destroyed. It will always exist in the hearts and minds of citizens.

What does the rebel flag symbolize?
The "rebel flag" is the red flag with the blue X crosss with 13 stars. The 13 stars represent the 13 confederate states. This was also called the battle flag for the Stars and Bars as it was the flag used in battle to identify the regiment. They also carried the Confederate States National flag, which underwent 3 different designs---one of which included the Stars & Bars in the corner.
Today the Rebel Flag has become to symbolize Southern heritage, people who want to party, anti-establishment, Klu Klux Klan, motorcycle gangs, SkinHeads and a many other rebellious causes.
If you look up KKK photos of the 50's and 60' you wil see NO Confederate Flags present. Only the American flag was carried until the klan was abolished. The new klan is not the same as it was in the past. The original KKK was mostly Northern men from Ohio and Indiana and I hear a lot of klaverns still exist there.
During the 1920's, the Klan was a large organization that politicians could not ignore. Most of the members were from the northern states.
