USN:U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Boston Christian Flag Dispute
Excerpt (Fair Use)
By Lawrence Hurley
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a group's challenge to Boston's rejection of its request to fly a flag bearing the image of a Christian cross over city hall in a case involving religious and free speech rights.
The justices will consider an appeal by a Christian group called Camp Constitution of a lower court ruling in favor of the city, taking up the case four days before the start of their new nine-month term.
Camp Constitution is a volunteer group that teaches classes on U.S. history and current events. It unsuccessfully applied to raise a flag with a Christian cross on it over city hall in 2017. It noted that Boston had granted hundreds of requests brought by other private groups seeking to raise various flags.
"The city had never previously denied a request and had previously approved flags of other countries and private organizations, including the LGBT pride flag."
Full Report
Arguments will begin early in 2022.
When President Trump was in office the alphabet community of sinners, were irate that the President refused, and rightly so, to allow the rainbow flag to be flown at U.S embassies. Of course in this age, this is not to say all embassies complied.
In June the Pentagon reiterated their policy wherein they would not allow the rainbow flag to be flown on military installations during "Gay Pride Month" during the month of June.
This fight should get a lot of heat from that side. Let's hope for a victory in Boston. Though with this SCOTUS, it's hard to say.
Precedent! It's all about precedent.
