Lexington has filed a motion
in U.S. District Court in Roanoke,
seeking to dismiss the Sons of Confederate Veterans lawsuit regarding the
city's flag ordinance that was adopted last September.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans lawsuit alleged the city's flag ordinance violates the group's constitutional rights and a previous court order by banning the flying of Confederate flags from city flagpoles.
Lexington's motion to dismiss suggests that the city has a right to speak as it wishes through its choice of flags on downtown flagpoles.
