The Saugus High School football team in Los Angeles County, California, will no longer carry the "Thin Blue Line" flag at games because it is "divisive," the district says.

Kuhlman wrote that "some individuals" have expressed concern that the flag is "divisive" and that some players on the team "might not be entirely enthusiastic" about the flag being used to represent the whole squad since the team never held a vote on the matter.
"In deference to his commitment to inclusivity, kindness and respect (just loving people), and because the team never voted as a unit to carry this banner, Coach (Jason Bornn) decided to discontinue this practice," Kuhlman wrote.
