For immediate release Friday, December 17, 2004 Student files suit against school board In Confederate prom dress case
LEXINGTON, KY – A young woman who was turned away from her high school prom because she was wearing a Confederate flag patterned evening gown will hold a press conference Monday after she files suit against the school board and officials who kept her out. Jacqueline Duty, a 2004 graduate of Russellville High School, is asking actual and punitive damages against the Russell Independent Board of Education, Superintendent Ronnie H. Back and Russell High Principal John Howard. The suit will be filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Lexington.
Following Monday’s filing, a press conference will be held at 1 p.m. on the steps of the U.S. Courthouse, 101 Barr Street. Ms. Duty will make a brief statement, as will her attorney, Earl Ray Neal, and officials of the Southern Legal Resource Center of Black Mountain, North Carolina, whose Chief Trial Counsel will act as co-counsel.
Former SLRC client Timothy Castorina, successful plaintiff in a landmark Sixth U.S. Circuit case that struck down a ban on Confederate-themed clothing in schools, is also expected to attend the press conference. Neal and Lyons/SLRC represented Castorina in the 5 ½ year court struggle
“Ms. Duty was intimidated and humiliated on what should have been one of the happiest nights of her young life by some very overzealous and wrong-headed people,” said SLRC Executive Director Roger McCredie. “She is entitled to vindication and we will work to see that she gets it.”
Earl Ray Neal is an attorney and adjunct Law Professor in Richmond, KY
The Southern Legal Resource Center is a nonprofit law firm that advocates on behalf of persons whose civil and constitutional rights have been violated in connection with expression of their Confederate heritage.

So I guess you are saying burn the dress?
bump
free dixie,sw
And you make this assessment as a professional stereotypical redneck loser recognition expert?
either: stupid "little dick" monster truck
So I assume you have personally observed this particular anatomical feature of the driver?
rusted out junk pickup
Whew! What an elitist you are. Didja stop to think that maybe the person couldn't afford more, or perhaps he has a Maserati in the garage?
beater car worth less than the gas in the tank
There ya go again, elitist.
harley rider jacket/vest along with "support your local red and white" or "ss" nonsense.
Got something against free speech, have you?
always
And you are so perfect, right?
never seen one near where i live on a bmw/expedition/chrsyler/corvette/toyota etc...
Well, I don't know where you live, but obviously you haven't seen the ones I have on my 'Vette and on my Toyota pickup.
And it has nothing to do with racism.
It has everything to do with the fact that persons such as yourself have appointed themselves some sort of nannies to make sure that no one is offended. So I go out of my way to offend them.
Get over it.
Or you could just look the other way.
In any event, it's your right to express your opinion on the subject, so don't let me stop you from making a further fool of yourself.
Your assessments remind me of the old saw; something about the pot calling the kettle black...something like that.
You have a nice day.
check out this lovely YL & her prom dress!

"Yeah, that ohioman is always ready to kick somebody's butt -- at least he is when he's sitting at a computer keyboard."

sad that FR seems to attract IGNORANT, damnyankee TWITS , as well as FRUITS & NUTS from CA, but alas we do.
free dixie NOW,sw
Concurring bump. Very well stated.
free dixie,sw
Very nice dress.
It chaps my hide when people equate those stars and bars with Nazi emblems.
damnyankees are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HATEFUL!

"Yes, yes. You are very humble indeed.....and violent! Oh my!!
You seem very comfortable with your mindless bigotry. I'm not here to weaken some sheeps faith. Keep serving that kool-aid."
maybe you need some coffee to wake up this a.m.
violence? from me for not tolerating punks with "ss" and confederate flags together on their vests? here in CALIFORNIA? you can't see the link? fool. i will defend my son and my wife against people who DO use these symbols to denigrate non-white people.
you go ahead and lay down peacefully.
as for the rest of your post about sheep/kool-aid/bigotry i can't follow such non-linear "thinking". maybe got your post responses mixed up in your stupor.
if you read my earlier posts regarding what this flag symbolizes out here in CALIFORNIA, not in the south you will know where i come from.
you too have a good day/sarcasm
tool.
hahahahaha!!!!!
i could see the tough guy name calling thing coming.
free dixie????
from what? it's 2004 jethro!!!!!
be a good boy, find your teeth, go out to clean up some of the broken washers and junk cars out front before your sister comes over for your romantic evening.
there!
some stereotyping from this twit with no life here in calif.
actually jethro, i have a job which i need to get to so i'll have to leave you now to your six pack and tonight's hot date.
free dixie!!!!
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
to any other flamers out there i stated/clarified my point and i'm outta here!!
LOL! You are right on target with that post, my friend. I've been on many freeps and protest warrior missions and that PLO flag and checkered kafiyyah are sported with pride by the leftist traitors..
That dress is going to be soooo imitated from now on.
I predict not only that flag but any number of flags are going to be sequined and made into dresses.
If the principle was smart, they would have just let this one slide and said the following year no flag based dresses at all.
