Activists raised a Christian flag over Boston City Hall on Wednesday, thanks to a Supreme Court ruling in May that affirmed their right to do so.
This from lifesitenews.com.
The victorious plaintiff said:
We have a great Constitution, and we have a wonderful First Amendment. But just like when it comes to muscles, if you don’t use it, you get weak.
A unanimous Court first ruled in May in Shurtleff v. Boston, that the city violated the rights of Christian activists when it denied them permission to fly a Christian flag, despite allowing other groups to raise banners in support of different beliefs and countries.
At the flag raising event August 3, Hal Shurtleff, the founder of Camp Constitution said:
The battle over the flag went back to 2017.
While thanking others who supported him in his fight with the city, he said:
I do want to give the glory to God.
Shurtleff said:
When I got the rejection email from the city, and it said separation of church and state, I knew we had a case.
As the flag was raised above the Boston square, Shurtleff said:
God’s hand was in this from the beginning.
Liberty Counsel represented Shurtleff and Camp Constitution and Liberty Counsel Chairman Mat Staver stated in a news release about the event:
The only reason why Camp Constitution’s request to fly this flag was denied was not because of the flag itself. It was Hal Shurtleff’s view of that flag.
Staver wrote:
It was because of one word in the application—the word ‘Christian’ preceded the word ‘flag.’
He was told by the city official that if he changed the name of the flag to a nonreligious name on the application, that flag could have flown in 2017—if Hal would have lied and called it the Camp Constitution flag.
This is not the Camp Constitution flag. It is the Christian flag.
This may seem like a small issue—the flying of a flag with a Christian symbol on it and a Christian name associated with it, but this Supreme Court decision is a necessary step for We the People to Take Back our nation from the woke movement and from the Obiden democrat-communist transformation that seeks to shred the fabric of our American culture.
God speed to Conservatism.
