The battle over the Christian flag controversy at the veteran's memorial here is far from over.Last week King city officials approved a policy that will allow veterans to apply to fly a flag representing their faiths on a rotating basis.
The Alliance Defense Fund says the citizens of King, not the city, will choose flags to fly at the Veteran's Memorial in Central Park.
According to a statement released Wednesday attorneys with ADF are working with the King city council to create a "limited public forum" policy allowing the citizens of King to choose from flags recognized by the U.S. military, including the Christian flag, to be displayed on a rotating basis. ADF who is providing free legal advice to the city says the details of how it will work are still being worked out.
The King city council voted Monday last 4-0 to commission ADF to create the policy.
Despite the decision, supporters of the Christian flag want to take matters into their own hands and they met Monday evening.
City officials will announce the detail of a new public forum policy on Nov. 22.
Supporters of the Christian flag are also planning on filing a complaint with the state Supreme Court.
NOW WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING THE CITY'S DECISION. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED OR MAYBE NOT. NOW YOU REALIZE THAT ANYONE'S FLAG CAN BE PLACED ON THE FLAGPOLE AND THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANTED. YOU SHOULD ACT LIKE CHRISTIANS AND SUPPORT THE CITY'S DECISION. THE FLAG WILL GET TO FLY JUST NOT ALL THE TIME AND WILL HAVE TO SHARE TIME ON THE FLAG POLE WITH OTHER RELIGIOUS FLAGS.
