Ever wonder why the MSM never shows just what the resolution reads? It would destroy the false claim that the resolution targets only pride flags. Here it is,
“RESOLUTION 2023-82
RESOLUTION TO MAINTAIN AND CONFIRM THE NEUTRALITY OF THE CITY OF HAMTRAMCK TOWARDS ITS RESIDENTS
WHEREAS, the City of Hamtramck is one of the most diverse cities in the United States, in which we should proudly promote and embrace its diversity; and WHEREAS, the City must and will serve and treat its residents equally, with no discrimination, or special treatment to any group of people; and
WHEREAS, the City has authorized in the past, the Human Relations Commission to install nations
flags on the City flagpoles to represent the international character of the City, Resolution 2013-102: and
WHEREAS, each religious, ethnic, racial, political, or sexually oriented group is already represented by the country it belongs to; and
WHEREAS, the City does not want to open the door for radical or racist groups to ask for their flags to be flown; and
WHEREAS, this resolution does not in any way, shape or form infringe upon the fundamental right of an individual or business in the City of Hamtramck to engage free speech. Nor does this resolution limit speech by public employees provided that such employees engage in such speech in a protected time, manner and place.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Hamtramck, Wayne County,
Michigan, that the government of the City of Hamtramck does not allow any religious, ethnic, racial, political, or sexual orientation group flags to be flown on the City’s public properties,
and that only, the American flag, the flag of the State of Michigan, the Hamtramck Flag, the Prisoner of War flag and the nations’ flags that represent the international character of our City shall be flown.”
Thanks for posting the city’s resolution. It is sensible.
This brouhaha concocted by the MSM reminds me a lot of what they did over the falsely labeled “don’t say ‘gay’” law in Florida.
