A “thin blue line” flag displayed at an Upstate New York school has sparked complaints.
The Democrat & Chronicle reports the flag, a black-and-white version of the American flag with a blue stripe in the middle, stirred up controversy as it hung within a security office exterior window for several months at the Greece Central School District’s Odyssey Academy. Some critics argue it’s a racist symbol, while others say it shows support for police officers and other law enforcement.

The Greece school board is hearing from citizens on both sides of the debate over the thin blue line flag.
The controversy began last week, when the principal at Odyssey Academy sent a letter to parents acknowledging that a display of the flag in a school office window made some people uncomfortable.
At last night s school board meeting, some residents called it a racist symbol
But some residents are telling the school board the flag is not a racist symbol and shows support for police officers.
