If I'm wrong, and you have read it, please post the First Amendment here. Verbatim.
Then we can discuss if the First Amendment applies to this disgraceful situation or not.
ROFL... I taught Criminal Justice and Intro is all about how our laws came about, the Constitution etc! Please read the Constitution and take time with wording, so you understand it too.

“The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, ensuring that there is no prohibition on the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble, or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights.”
When an act like ‘#TakeTheKnee’ becomes a protest, if done peacefully, then it becomes something our government needs to address, it does not matter if they are wrong. I think Trump is handling it correctly.
Vietnam had terrible protests...and that became directed at our soldiers, who were mostly drafted! That was wrong. You can be dead right, and dead wrong at the same time!
HOWEVER doing it during the National Anthem is NOT acceptable!
