The new superintendent of the Milwaukee House of Correction (HOC) has banned the use of the thin blue line, an image that shows support for law enforcement, calling it a white supremacist symbol. Displaying white nationalist symbols, slogans or other identifying iconography on clothing, supplies, coffee mugs, masks etc. is not permissible at the HOC, HOC superintendent Chantell Jewell said in an email to staff last week. It has been brought to my attention that there were shirts and mugs distributed to staff that have a Spartan s Helmet and a flag with a blue line through it. Both symbols have been adopted by white supremacy groups. These symbols are inappropriate and threaten the integrity of the HOC.
