Let’s see how many Southerner stereotypes we can fit into one story. First, you gotta love her lawyer’s name, “Earl-Ray Neal”. Quite amusing that school officials preventing her from entering the building violated, in part, " … her right to celebrate her heritage." Oh, and she’s “proud of her Southern heritage” (and we all know what those code words mean) though “… she acknowledged that some might find the Confederate flag offensive.” Yet, knowing that it offended some people, she still worked on the Sisyphusian task (such tasks being, of course, as Southern as okra and grits) for four years, but after being told she couldn’t wear it there, decided to wear it anyways “because she didn’t have another one”. And, of course, the Sons of Confederate Veterans (more like the Male Decendants of Confederate Veterans) are assisting with her legal fees.
Obviously, she’s a Damnyankee mole sent down to make us look bad to the rest of the country. Actually, this is in Kentucky, right? Kentucky wasn’t part of the Confederacy! She’s celebrating a heritage that she doesn’t actually have! Oh, the ignomity of it all…
School officials were today sued by Eve Creationist when they prevented her going to a school dance in the nude.
Her lawyer, Evolution Isamyth, said “Eve was recreating the only time that humanity was in a state of perfect grace. This is her heritage. Have these Godless sinners no respect for 6000 years of tradition?”
How is this in bad taste? Up until recently that symbol used to be a state flag. Should I expect to be labled tacky if I go to some dance with a ‘Bear Republic’ suit on?
She worked on that for four years? I could make a better prom dress between now and prom time. (Actually, I’m wearing the same dress I wore to last year’s prom, because I love it.)
This statement is debatable. And even if Kentucky were clearly not part of the Confederacy, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a “Southern” (read: “Confederate”) heritage. Maybe she grew up in Alabama and moved to Kentucky just two years earlier. Or maybe her parents moved from Georgia to Kentucky a couple of years before she was born. In either case, she could still claim such a heritage.
Was this post just an excuse for you to insult the South and its citizens? Yes, the girl was misguided and more than a little ignorant but that doesn’t explain the wild tangent of your second paragraph and I’d respond to your comments that being proud of your Southern heritage being code for whatever the fuck you may believe but this isn’t the Pit.
