| High School Football Team Barred from Carrying Pro-Police Flag onto Field |
| 2022-10-01 |
| [Breitbart] The football team at Santa Clara, California’s Saugus High School has been informed they will no longer be allowed to carry a “Thin Blue Line” flag beside the U.S. flag when they take the field. The team was told the “Thin Blue Line” flag is “divisive,” FOX 11 reported. William S. Hart Union High School District superintendent Mike Kuhlman sent a letter Wednesday to the school community explaining the ban on the pro-police flag, the Los Angeles Times noted. The letter said, “Just three short days ago, I became aware of a concern about this symbol being flown at Saugus High School football games. Despite emails for immediate action, and threats of consequences if certain steps weren’t taken within a specific timeline, we determined to take our time to understand the issue accurately and to respond thoughtfully.” He indicated the Saugus High School football coach, Jason Bornn, supported banning the flag. Kuhlman wrote, “(It) occurred to (Bornn) that it’s possible that some players on the team might not be entirely enthusiastic about a symbol that is being used to represent the entire team.” Brandy Roggentein, a Saugus High parent, recalled law enforcement officers rushed into the school while everyone else was rushing out during a November 14, 2019, shooting on campus. Roggentein said, “One of the first responders was a parent who dropped off a kid (at the time) and he literally saved some lives. The fact that the school is not honoring that is mind-blowing and disgusting,” Superintendent Kuhlman used his letter to explain that coach Bornn supports the ban on the pro-police flag as a way to show “deference to his commitment to inclusivity, kindness and respect.” Related: Thin Blue Line: 2020-10-01 California man, 28, accused of driving into crowd of BLM protesters 'had amassed stockpile of guns and set up a civil disobedience training camp at his family's 30-acre vineyard' Thin Blue Line: 2020-08-26 In California, cops banned from pro-police speech but pro-BLM speech is mandatory Thin Blue Line: 2020-08-03 Fourth Officer Dies After Crash Allegedly Caused by DACA Illegal Alien |

| #5 We bailed at the end of 2018, but still have lots of friends and family in Sacramento and Orange County areas. They are all either trapped by careers or kids still in school, but all are heartsick about the accelerating decline in the quality of life. Even the woke, lefty nutters my wife shares equestrian connections with are looking to bail. I look at the peaks of the California Sierra's behind Tahoe as I write this from the Carson Valley and gloat about having scotched insanity by leaving and finding the traditional American dream again. |

| #4 ^ Yep, that's been going on for some years now. Of course, this comes from my backyard in CA. The insanity here is beyond intolerable. Most of our clan has already moved out. Mrs. Mundi n I are narrowing our window of escape. Tough choices when the grandkids are involved. |
