Blue line flag ban rally, Chardon creates 'Free Speech Zone' for rally outside

 A “Free Speech Zone” has been designated on the lawn in front of Chardon High School for Friday night’s football game where people are permitted to host a rally in support of police and other law enforcement officials.

It comes as controversy ignited in Chardon following last Friday night’s high school football game when a player for the Chardon Hilltoppers ran on the field carrying a thin blue line flag, which is a symbol associated with the Blue Lives Matter movement. The superintendent later banned the flag at all school events.

School officials said the “Free Speech Zone” was created “because the District values and supports the rights of individuals to gather and exercise their free speech rights. … The District is not a sponsor or participant in the rally.”

As a result of the planned rally, the Chardon Police Department collaborated with school officials on a security plan.

“We take very seriously the safety and security of our community and have been diligent in planning with school officials and other local resources to provide a positive environment for tonight’s football game,” said Chardon Police Chief Scott Niehus.

A tropical depression is likely to form by the middle of next week as it pushes westward across the eastern tropical Atlantic. Right now, the National Hurricane Center is giving it a high 80% chance of development over the next 5 days. Computer models are bul...
