Virginia group sues Leavenworth High School after principal banned Confederate flag T-shirt
LEAVENWORTH—A conservative legal group has sued Leavenworth High School after its principal allegedly refused to let a student wear a T-shirt with the Confederate battle flag on it.
The Rutherford Institute filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Kansas City last week on behalf of the student, David Kennedy.
Kansas City last week of Hurricane Katrina The lawsuit contends that principal James VanMaanen said that wearing such a shirt was racist. He allegedly told Kennedy's father, an ROTC instructor at the school, that if David wore the shirt to school, he would have to turn it inside out or leave school.
VanMaanen did not immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press yesterday.
Associated Press Yesterday Kennedy is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. He had received a "Legends in Gray" T-shirt for his birthday. It includes three small Confederate flags and a large 1861-65 map of Georgia, with pictures of famous Confederate Civil War figures.
In the lawsuit, the institute argues that VanMaanen's actions violated Kennedy's rights to free speech. It also said VanMaanen had in the past ordered another student to turn a Confederate T-shirt inside out or leave school.
out of leave school. The Virginia-based institute said neither the high school nor the school district has a policy prohibiting the wearing of clothes depicting the Confederate flag.
In 2000, the Rutherford Institute sued the Derby school district for suspending a seventh-grade student who drew a picture of the Confederate flag. The case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which rejected the institute's arguments that the suspension violated the youth's freedom of speech and other constitutionally protected rights.

Researchers receive grant for $1.1 million
Researchers of cardiovascular diseases at the University of Kansas Medical Center received a $1.1 million, five-year grant this month from the National Institutes of Health to research the effects of high blood pressure on blood vessels around the heart.
We are trying to understand how blood vessels are altered or remodeled by hypertension," said Jie Du, associate professor of internal medicine.
Patrice Delafontaine, director of cardiovascular diseases, said hypertension caused vessels to thicken and that reduced blood flow, which could lead to medical problems including heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.
"Hypertension is the most common disease in the United States," he said. "There are 50 million people with hypertension."
