Burning the US flag except to dispose of it is considered offensive in the US as well.

I thought flags were made of non-flammable materials to prevent people from burning them.

No that’s stupid. There aren’t specific materials it’s made of lol. It’s that the colors were specifically designed by Lincoln to prevent people from desecrating it
