Student files suit against school board

News Release For additional information contact the SLRC at 828.669.5189/slrc@slrc-csa.org

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.

That school district is in some deep do-do, and rightfully so.

i choose sometimes to direct simpler words toward simpler minds.

i know you already work so hard to respond in your posts, what with the big word dictionary.

this is a long post with those BIG words so you may
want to have your assistant read and transfer it into "jethrospeak" for you.

i did some checking on the other confederate posts since i can't remember seeing your moniker, nor the "free willie" fool on any other thread topics in 4 years of lurking. certainly not "free willie" as that stands out.

i did see that certain of you consistently post on these confederate threads....this issue is probably your religion...just a variant of the du "lack of power" affliction.

another theme which runs throughout the responses you losers direct toward anyone who disagrees with you is the cut and pasting of the same vitriolic personal attack bilge.

it's actually pretty comical.......same words and methods...different thread.

possibly related to the 500 word vocabulary.

i'll need to advise my asian wife and mixed son that now i am a skinhead. hahahahahahahahaha!


there are clearly decent people on these threads whose flag is part of their heritage and they are rightfully proud of what it stands for.

and then there are the nazilike dolts who know nothing of the history.....the flag is their mark of distinction...
those who couple the flag with nazi regalia or defend those who do, desecrate that flag. not my opinion. fact.
common sense.

i didn't engage this thread to make any friends. creatures like you and "free carwash" disgust me as this is your race based religion, not mine.

you morons don't seem to realize that there are curious lurkers maybe leaning toward conservative values who will naturally seek out these threads to see what the "vrwc" people think about this issue.

what they see are "free dixie" posts from you freaks attacking those who differ with your white world view.

there are clearly decent people on these posts.

and there are people like you. g t h!!

btw looks like my little dog rocket adversary jethro aka "free dixie" is typically posting with razor sharp
wit!!! lol!!!!!!!

THIS JUST IN!!!!!!!!

it seems that "free willie" claims today on another confederate flag thread (suprise, suprise) that he is a university professor!!!!

To: WildHorseCrash
it has been my experience throughout graduate school & teaching on this campus, that only SIMPLETONS, who have nothing of substance to add to the conversation, complain about my (intentional) failure to follow the normal rules of punctuation/capitalization.
fyi, i was once an English major, but CHOSE to spell/capitalize things to suit ME. (frankly, i couldn't care less what you or any other statist, damnyankee lunatic thinks or doesn't think about my writing style.)

in point of fact, a generation ago, i had an IBM ball-typewriter converted to NO caps. THAT drove the leftist IDIOTS & "glass bellybutton gazers" on the faculty crazy.(if nothing else it gave them something to worry their "little pointed heads" about.)

free dixie,sw

you are obviously an erudite individual./sarc

will your reading/writing assistant be returning to convert that eru... word for you?

or are you a university professor as well? went to the same school as "free willie"? or perhaps a bank president, or a general, or astronaut??? actually you and dr stand or watie can be just about anything you want!!!!!

actually, i'll be kind of busy tracking your fraudulent friends'
posts so my future responses to you will be delayed.

go forth and flame,tool. you must have other confederate threads with infidel anti-dixiecrats to attack. i really have no more time for you.... professor stand or waite is more fun!

Indeed, it may be a very bad thing for the rights of the persons when factions determined to have their own way in all things form their own breakaway nations.

It didn't do all that much for individual freedom, when a faction determined to have its own way in all things won the White House in 1860 and proceeded to bulldoze the rest of the country.

In that case, bailing out was the intelligent alternative to staying, and being dunned and swindled.

man, are you going to get flamed when the little dog rocket dolt with the "free dixie or condoms or whatever" dude gets a look at your post.

maybe not though as he may still hide due to the fraud info posted in this thread.

it's likely though his inbred relatives from this post will flame away!!!! lol.

have fun though, remember .... like fishing with dynamite:)
