I think it is inappropriate, even wrong, to lower the flag atop City Hall to honor a religious leader. First, in this country there is still allegedly a separation between church and state.
Second, choosing this particular religious leader looks like a pandering for votes. In my memory this honor hasn’t been given to the leader of Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, even Lutheranism.
In this case you have chosen to honor someone who was leading in a direction that many in this city don’t want to go. He was anti-choice (send your check to NARAL ProChoice America to fight on that one), anti-gay (Outfront MN will take your check to fight on that one) and anti-woman (Emily’s list will help the more rational minded there).
Let’s stop the charade and put the flag back at the top of the pole where it belongs.
