Winning in the Supreme Court 9-0

Winning in the Supreme Court 9-0

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the city of Boston violated the Constitution when it rejected an application to fly a Christian flag on one of the three flagpoles in front of city hall. Because the city program that allowed other private groups to raise and fly their own flags was not speech by the city, the court held, the city could not refuse permission to fly a particular flag because of the views that it expressed. In other words, you can’t engage in viewpoint censorship.
