Maybe it's me being very narrow minded. Half of why I posted this was to see if I had missed something.
If someone wants to emphasize their nationality on our national day, that's great. Nothing is better; they are embracing our culture. However, should they start waving their own flag, or hoisting it up on a pole or on a wall-pole, then it would feel wrong. It's not like everyone in Norway is celebrating our nationality, we're celebrating our Constitution.

And what would you do?
How would you feel if someone else ripped the other flag down?
If they want to celebrate their duality, that's fully possible by adopting some "props" to their clothing, for example by pins or a special tie, or instead use small flags fastened to their pram, for instance. Flag poles should be restricted to the nation's flag. The flag-waving in the parades should be restricted to the nation's flag. It's not about excluding people from the celebrations, it's about celebrating what's meant to be celebrated, and the Norwegian flag represents that - not the flag which shows their heritage.

If someone angrily ripped it down, I'd feel bad. It's all about respect - from both sides.

That seems a bit regimented -that there is one correct way to act and any deviation from that is somehow wrong.
Maybe that works in Norway but here in the US, never.
