UVA Law Students Planned ‘Antifascist’ Event With Flyer Featuring Burning Flag
“It remains unclear whether the event actually ended up taking place, which was planned for Oct. 3 according to the group chat message.”
This is something that the left just can’t seem to escape. People on their side just love the image of burning flags.

UVA scholarship recipient shares planned ‘antifascist’ flag-burning tailgate protesting Trump
Kirk Woolf, a scholarship awardee and law student at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville (UVA) circulated a flyer advertising an “Antifascist Tailgate” which he said was organized by the Friends Against Fascism Organization to promote flag burning in protest of President Trump’s new executive order on flag desecration.
A flyer advertising the “Antifascist Tailgate” showed an American flag on a grill and promised “hot dogs and burning flags” and was shared in an X post by GOP Strategist Greg Price as reported by Fox News.
It remains unclear whether the event actually ended up taking place, which was planned for Oct. 3 according to the group chat message.
Kirk Wolff, a UVA law student and Navy veteran, circulated the flyer in a law school group chat. In a screenshot of the message obtained by Fox News Digital, Woolf can be seen to explain that the planned tailgate is in direct response to Trump’s executive order to prosecute the burning of the American Flag. He also sent the chat a link to the order directly.
“The president does not get to say what the law is; that is solely the province of the judiciary,” Wolff told Fox News, saying that Trump attempted to “intimidate dissenters and chill speech.”
Wolff has recently been honored as a recipient of the Pat Tillman scholarship. The Tillman Scholar Program, founded in 2009, supports military service members, veterans, and their spouses who demonstrate exceptional leadership and a commitment to public service.
Scholars receive academic funding, access to professional mentorship, and membership in a national network devoted to leadership and community impact.

The totalitarians are quick with the “fascist!” pejoratives.
“Hate Has No Home Here, But Othering Does!”
Their anti-Americanism should permanently disqualify from ever becoming officers of the court and practicing law. They should never be admitted to the bar. They will be though since anti-Americanism is all the rage with the kool guy’s.
That would violate the constitution.
And it’s not anti-American to burn the flag in protest against an unconstitutional order purporting to prohibit such burning. On the contrary, in the face of such an order, burning the flag becomes almost a patriotic duty. A patriot’s loyalty is to the constitution, not the flag.
If one wants to protest an executive order banning burning the flag, then burn a copy of that order. But if you burn the flag, you are expressing your disdain for this Country as a whole, which the flag represents. That is not patriotic. As citizens of this Country, we owe allegiance to this Country, not to the Constitution (which can be changed or replaces altogether by We the People). Granted, if the current Constitution permits burning of the flag as an exercise of First Amendment rights, then the President has no power to override that. But don’t kid yourself into thinking it is patriotic to burn the flag. It is merely an expression of contempt for We the People and should be treated as such.
