A big playoff game tonight between two local high school teams is being played under a cloud of controversy. This after a flag was flown at a Saugus High School football game that has been tied to white supremacist movements but others maintain it’s simply about supporting law enforcement.
A man who said he was the boy’s father defended the flag at a school board meeting on Monday.
The head of the Santa Clarita chapter of the NAACP points out that the same flag was flown by white supremacists in Charlottesville and by protesters at the capitol on January 6. “It has now been adopted by right wing extremists, by racists organizations. There are other ways to honor law enforcement, we are not anti law enforcement,’ Bradford said.
