SLRC Weekly Update

 

Dear Heritage Defenders:

 

I hope that everyone has had a wonderful week.  Last week we were all in Asheville at the National Reunion and it sure was a busy week!  It was absolutely wonderful to meet so many people that I have emailed and telephoned! Our CLE Seminar was spectacular.  We had around 25-30 people in attendance. Everyone that attended talked about how helpful and educational the course was.  We do plan on having another seminar next year and we do hope that you will make plans to attend.

 

Kirk and HK are currently at the SCV Youth Camp in Alabama.  Last night Kirk gave a program on Confederate symbols and schools to around forty young men.  HK followed with an inspirational program!  The young fellows really seemed to enjoy it!

 

Logan County Schools

 

Many of you remember two weeks ago when I reported this:

 

Logan County schools in Kentucky will possibly be added to the growing list of bloodless victories because of the favorable Castorina ruling.  Let me give you a bit of background information. Some time ago a student was tragically killed that was a current student at Logan County schools.  The young student frequently wore Confederate flag shirts.  To honor this student’s memory, many students decided to wear Confederate flag shirts to school.  Logan County school officials told students they were not to wear any more Confederate symbols.  SCV members, Don Shelton and Fred Wilhite have been vigorously working to ensure that Castorina is enforced in Logan County.  We are proud to announce that a verbal agreement has been reached to allow shirts back in and we are currently working on a written agreement.  We will keep you posted as details unfold.

 

As it turns out the school officials that we were dealing with had no intention of complying with Castorina.  We had spoken with the superintendent, Marshall Kemp and the principal of Logan County High School.  Both of these men assured us of their compliance!  As of this week, many students have been sent home and made to change shirts.  We will keep you posted as we tackle this issue with our full power.

 

FAA Lawsuit


Opposing counsel in our FAA Case filed a motion to dismiss and we filed an amended complaint adding 23 affidavits.  The court dismissed opposing counsel’s motion to dismiss as moot.  We will keep you informed as details unfold
