Condemning the Art Institute of Chicago and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for permitting the display of an exhibit that encourages disrespect for the flag of the United States and abuses the right of freedom of speech as guaranteed by the Constitution.

Summary

Declares that: (1) the Congress condemns the Art Institute of Chicago and its school for poor judgment in permitting the display of an exhibit that encourages disrespect for the U.S. flag; and (2) it is the sense of the Congress that the insensitivity of the Institute and School and their decision to defend the exhibit as a constitutionally protected form of expression threaten to erode understanding and tolerance of such expression.
