Flags at Boston City Hall Are ‘Government Speech,’ City Argues in Suit Over Christian Flag

The operator of a conservative camp is asking a federal judge to order the city of Boston to fly the Christian flag from a flagpole at City Hall.
Harold "Hal" Shurtleff, co-founder of Camp Constitution, headquartered in West Roxbury, has sued the city in federal court. A hearing on the city's motion for summary judgment to throw out the case took place Thursday afternoon.
