The city's censoring of Camp Constitution's Christian Flag is the ultimate insult to the First Amendment and Boston's rich heritage as a focal point of liberty and free speech at America's founding
BOSTON, MA - Today, Liberty Counsel presented oral argument in its federal lawsuit against the city of Boston and one of its officials for censoring the Christian flag that Boston resident Hal Shurtleff and his Christian civic organization, Camp Constitution, requested to fly on the city's public forum. The city regularly extends to other civic and cultural organizations the freedom to raise their flags on the city hall flagpoles to commemorate whatever events are important to the organizations. The city's application policy refers to the flagpoles as a public forum.
