A high school in Florida has banned its football team from flying the Thin Blue Line flag, deeming it inappropriate, after the athletes flew the pro-police flags on the field to honor one students dead police officer father.
A racist flag?: Fletcher High Schools football team, the Fletcher Senators, had flown the flag during 11 games of the 2019 season and flew it again during a game last week.
The team flew the flag to honor former Jacksonville Beach police officer Cpl. Andy Lavender who died last August. His son, Caelan, is an offensive lineman for the team.

Its a paradox, but academic bureaucrats and educators are often the most narrow-minded, rigid and stupid people you will ever meet.

The “high school” didn’t ban anything. A bureaucrat did. He or she has a name. We need to see it.

I’m buying some “Blue Lives Matter” wristbands at Amazon and distributing them to local PD.

I may be very wrong but I believe that the amount of boiling, silent rage that normal middle class Americans feel about the concocted BLM insurgency, the cancel culture, and the bogus narrative that normal white people are racists and have to give up their white privilege is going to appear as a surprise in Nov, certainly for DJT and perhaps for the GOP overall. Between the rioting and the mask regime the lower and middle class are ‘madder than hell’.

Actually, I don’t think high school or college athletics should be involved with politics whatsoever. So, if they ban other political flags consistently, then I’m OK with that. But if they allow BLM and Antifa and other political flags while banning the Blue Lives Matter flag, then I’m outraged.

They only get banned if they allow it to get banned.
Show up with the flags and tell them to ESAD.
