Should Weymouth High School take down ‘Thin Blue Line’ flag? School officials discuss ‘complex issues’ as community debates
Updated Jan 26, 2021;
Weymouth school officials met this week to discuss the “thin blue line” flag and other pro-police symbols at the high school that have sparked social media debate and dueling petitions by students calling for their removal amid a push for racial justice and those demanding they remain in honor of the late Police Sgt. Michael Chesna and other fallen officers.
“We understand the differing perspectives surrounding modern social topics and the resulting profound emotions and feelings,” Jennifer Curtis-Whipple, superintendent of the school district, said in a statement to Boston25 News.
