The Satanic Temple requests that Boston fly its flag after Supreme Court ruling – By Jenn Selva and Shawna Mizelle (CNN) / May 4, 2022
(CNN)The Satanic Temple in Massachusetts is requesting that Boston fly its flag, after the Supreme Court ruled this week that the city had violated the First Amendment rights of a Christian group when it denied them flying their flag outside of City Hall.
According to a copy of the request tweeted by The Satanic Temple, the group is asking Boston to fly the flag for “Satanic Appreciation Week” on July 23-29. The Satanic Temple said its request was in response to the recent ruling.
CNN reached out to The Satanic Temple for comment but did not immediately hear back.
A spokesperson from Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s office said the office was “carefully reviewing the Court’s decision and its recognition of city governments’ authority to operate similar programs,” adding: “As we consider next steps, we will ensure that future City of Boston programs are aligned with this decision.”
