Boston Pays $2 Million for Refusal to Fly Christian Flag

A settlement has been reached in a case between the city of Boston and a Christian legal organization after the city refused to fly a Christian flag outside of City Hall.

The case had made its way up the U.S. Supreme Court, but now, the settlement will see the city payout $2.1 million years after Hal Shurtleff and his Camp Constitution group were determined to have had their rights violated.

The settlement was announced on Tuesday by Liberty Counsel and is expected to cover attorneys’ fees and other costs accrued through the nearly five-year legal battle.
