Bill of rights:

Students across the state of Florida are enraged when the Governor signed a law extending the school day to ten hours a day, six days a week, twelve months a year. To show their anger they burn textbooks on the lawn of the capitol building. Is this legal? If so, what makes it illegal?
Please say what amendment it is as well.
Thank you :D.

Yes, it is legal. It falls under the first amendment as freedom of speech and the right to protest (book burning is a symbolic protest).
