The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear the case of a student who was suspended in 2006 from the Latta Schools for wearing a t-shirt with the Confederate flag to school.
“The school and the courts will not respect your children’s inalienable right to proclaim and be proud of their Southern Heritage, and in all areas of traditional culture it will only get worse!,” said Chief Trial Counsel Kirk D. Lyons, the student’s attorney  for the last 10 years.
In March 2012, the case was dismissed in its entirety by a U.S. District Judge; however, the Southern Legal Resource Center (SLRC), who represented the student who appealed.
