Supreme Court says Boston violated First Amendment in Christian flag case

that Boston violated the First Amendment when it said a local organization could not fly a Christian flag in front of City Hall.Justice Stephen Breyer, who delivered the opinion of the court, said that Boston "violated the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment" by not allowing Camp Constitution, which says its

The commissioner of Boston's Property Management Department said no because he worried that flying a religious flag at City Hall would violate the Constitution's Establishment Clause, which prohibits a government from establishing an official religion. Breyer said that at the time, Boston did not have any written policy on limiting the use of one of their City Hall flag poles based on the content of a flag.The case, Shurtleff v. Boston, focused on whether the city uses its flag poles to fly flags that communicate governmental messages or instead, opens their use for citizens to express their own beliefs.

For you Leftists; Yes. The Church of Satan does have every right to fly a flag outside of city hall, provided they go through the proper channels to do so. The government restricting their ability to do so, violates their 1st amendment and 14th amendment protections.

Here we go.. Now i want my satanist flag also flying...

Christ had a flag? Did it look like this 🇵🇸? Or this 🇮🇱?

Clearly, it's time for followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster to raise their flag and start sculpting again!
