Ross said she has known some of the ACLU's cases to take months and some to take years and as for individuals being named in a lawsuit, that part of it would depend on their personal and professional actions in regards to the seal. The courts since then have spent a lot of time trying to understand the implications of this clause to counties, cities and states. The seal is a historic symbol, with the cross, torch, cow and wheel making sense in relation to each other, Eades said. I think it is a mere shadow.

Student covers Confederate flag with poster.
A Butler High School senior returned to school Monday after being suspended one day for displaying the Confederate flag in the rear window of her pickup truck. On Monday, she returned to class with a handwritten posterboard propped up on her truck to cover the flag design. Nora Carr, spokeswoman for the school district, said Butler students had voiced concerns to Ritchie about the flag's presence, and that Ritchie had asked Williams and her parents to remove it. Carr said latitude is given to principals to determine what falls under that rule. It says anything that can be disruptive to the learning environment.
