>>Mr. Hurst should have taken out his lighter and set fire to the offensive art work, thus exercising his own freedom of expression. The Supreme Court has ruled that torching the US flag is such expression, so the Confederate flag would certainly be fair game.<<

They didn't rule that you have a right to go into a museum and burn an American flag that doesn't belong to you.

actually the courts came pretty close, in that the flag BURNED was the PRIVATE PROPERTY of a person, who sued to get his money back.

the trial court said that he did NOT have "standing" to force reimbursement for his loss.

burning a flag is NOT protected speech. it is a CRIME.
