Actually according to the United States Flag Code:

"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."

So the burning of the flag is not always a bad thing

In addition, many would counter the argument that burning an American flag in protest is wrong that in fact, it is NOT wrong, but rather is the ultimate expression of our cherished ideal of Freedom of Speech, which is what the flag (partially) stands for.
