SLRC Weekly Update

Dear Heritage Defenders:

This has been a great week for us!  Much has been happening here at the Southern Legal Resource Center.  I have taken many calls from parents and students this week regarding Southern Heritage Violations at many schools.  I also want to remind everyone to visit our web site.  Many changes have been made in the last few months and we update it often.  Here are other things that we have accomplished this week.

Curtis Storey

The court dismissed this case this week without even hearing any evidence.  As reported last week, we filed a Motion for Leave to Amend the Complaint and also attached 12 affidavits including Commander in Chief Ron Wilson (testifying that he considers himself to be a Confederate Southern American) Commander of South Carolina Robert Roper (testifying to the same) Curtis Storey (same) Chaplain in Chief John Weaver same and the fact that the Confederate flag is a Christian symbol) Past Chaplain in Chief Alister Anderson (testifying to Chaplain Weaver’s same testimony) Dr. Winston McCuen and Clyde Wilson (testifying that a Confederate Southern American has all the attributes of national origin status) HK Edgerton (testifying to being a Confederate Southern American) Charles Yow (testifying on Native American and Confederate Southern American national origin status) and Roger McCredie (testifying on the persecution of Confederate Southern Americans and heritage violation.).  We filed a notice of appeal to the 3rd Circuit on Thursday. Stay tuned for details.

Racist Food Case

Richard Smith was put on probation at Bechtel Savannah River Site because of his display of Confederate symbols in the workplace.  Bechtel filed a reply to our Response to their Motion to Dismiss. We will be filing a sur reply within the next week and attaching 3 new affidavits in addition to the ones listed above. Stay tuned for details.

Taylor County, Fl.

Taylor County School Board has banned Confederate symbols in their schools and parents are working very closely with the local SCV camp and us to overturn this ban.  The local SCV camp has prepared a packet with the FL Division’s help.  On Tuesday the local SCV camp made it’s first presentation to the Student Advisory Committee at Taylor County Elementary.  The camp will be making presentations to each school.  The local NAACP is going nuclear over the situation but no one has wavered.

I would like to ask all the SCV camps that receive this update to consider donating to the Southern Legal Resource Center.  We spend the majority of our time working on our cases and not fund-raising. Please remember us.

Also the March Across Dixie tapes will be ready very soon.  If you pre-ordered your copy when the March was still happening you should receive you copy soon!  The tapes are still available for ordering at $40 each.  The March Across Dixie commemorative flags are still available at $50 each.  Order yours today by calling 828-669-5189.
