Boston May Legally Bar Christian Flag From City Hall Flagpole, Federal Court Rules

The city of Boston may legally deny a request to fly a Christian flag on a City Hall flagpole while accepting other cultural groups' requests to fly their flags, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday.

According to U.S. District Court Judge Denise J. Casper, the the city does not have to fly a Christian flag with a cross on it from a municipal flagpole on the same day in which the Christian civic group Camp Constitution hosts its Constitution Day and Citizenship Day events at City Hall Plaza.

The city had previously denied the request by the organization's director, Harold Shurtleff, last year on grounds that an unwritten policy doesn't permit the flying of nonsecular flags from the municipal flagpole.

I agree.  It should be left up to the City of Boston to decide what flags they want to fly.  And no federal judge should be allowed to overrule them.  If you don't like the City Council's decision, then vote them out of office.

A policy unwritten is not a policy.
