Supreme Court to Decide government Speech Flag Case

The issue the Supreme Court will decide in Shurtleff v. City of Boston is whether flying a flag on a flagpole owed by a government entity is government speech. If it is, the city may refuse to fly a Christian flag.

Boston owns and manages three flagpoles in an area in front of City Hall. Boston flies the United States and the POW/MIA flag on one flagpole, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts flag on another flagpole, and its own flag on a third flagpole. Third parties may request to fly their flag instead of the city’s flag in connection with an event taking place within the immediate area of the flagpoles.

Camp Constitution seeks “to enhance understanding of the country’s Judeo-Christian moral heritage.” It asked the City twice to fly its Christian flag while it held an event near the flag. The City refused its request to avoid government establishment of religion.

The First Circuit held that flying a third-party flag on a City Hall flag poll is government speech meaning the City didn’t have to fly the Christian flag. According to the First Circuit, in two previous cases (Pleasant Grove City v. Summum (2009) and Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate veterans (2015)) the Supreme Court has developed a three-part test for determining when speech is government speech. The Court looks at the history of governmental use, whether the message conveyed would be ascribed to the government, and whether the government “effectively controlled” the messages because it exercised “final approval authority over their selection.”

Regarding the history of governments using flags, the First Circuit stated “that a government flies a flag as a ‘symbolic act’ and signal of a greater message to the public is indisputable.”

The First Circuit also concluded that an observer would likely attribute the message of a third-party flag on the City’s third flagpole to the City. The First Circuit had no difficulty concluding the City controlled the flags. “Interested persons and organizations must apply to the City for a permit before they can raise a flag on this flagpole.” ■
