Nowhere in the US Flag Code does it say to burn the flag if it touches the ground. The code says separately that you shouldn’t let it touch the ground, and that if it is too damaged for display it is to be disposed of by burning. Not that accidentally touching the ground automatically necessitates burning.

Thanks for clarifying (and I should’ve looked it up myself! My bad for being lazy).
That sounds like a sane policy.
