Ok, well you don't have to actually burn the flag to teach students any more than you need to burn books to make the same point. You can, but any added effectiveness of the lesson isn't enough to justify the destruction of a flag. Basically, a flag that is destroyed for a purpose supporting that which it stands for is a flag honored, but that isn't the case here.
