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.
