Hundreds Attend Christian Flag Hearing in King, NC
City officials present 3 options for flag
KING, N.C. (WGHP) - Over 500 people attended a public hearing held by the King City Council on Monday to discuss the ongoing Christian flag controversy.
City officials shared three different options they are considering: permanently remove the flag from the memorial, create limited public forum and policy which would designate single flag pole to display flags of religions, religious symbols, or emblems recognized by U.S. military for placement on government markers or to transfer memorial to private entity (such as a Veterans group).
The city council voted to take down the christian flag after the ACLU and another group threatened the city with a lawsuit --- a lawsuit that was estimated to cost $200,000 to $300,000 to defeat.
