NC: “King sets flag rule: Residents may apply to fly flag honoring relative”

Winston-Salem Journal: “The King City Council voted unanimously last night to approve a limited public-forum policy for religious symbols on flags at the city’s Veteran’s Memorial . . . Joe Infranco, an attorney for the Alliance Defense Fund who helped craft the policy, and City Attorney Walter Pitt have said that the policy follows legal guidelines because it allows individuals to express their religious views, which are protected by the First Amendment. The Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative organization that supports public expressions of Christianity, offered free legal help to city officials who worked on the policy.”
