Enough all ready. If the young ladies at Rutgers are “so harmed” by the rantings of a radio DJ, even a liberal racist one, then the state of our American education system is in deep doo-doo.
“Don Imus is facing his first lawsuit from a player on the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team for derogatory comments that cost him his job as a radio host in April, ABC News has learned.
Kia Vaughn, star center for the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team, has filed a lawsuit against Imus for libel, slander and defamation — the first civil suit to be filed against the former radio host. Vaughn is asking for monetary damages of an unspecified amount.
“This is a lawsuit in order to restore the good name and reputation of my client, Kia Vaughn,” said her attorney, Richard Ancowitz, in an exclusive interview with the ABC News Law & Justice Unit.
The suit names Imus individually, but it is also waged against MSNBC, NBC Universal, CBS Radio, CBS Corp., Viacom Inc., Westwood One Radio and Imus producer Bernard McGuirk.
Today’s suit refers to terms used by Imus April 4 — including referring to women on the team as “nappy headed” — as “debasing, demeaning, humiliating, and denigrating” to Vaughn and her fellow players. “There’s no way these bigoted remarks should have seen the light of day,” Ancowitz told ABC News.
“Don Imus referred to my client as an unchaste woman. That was and is a lie.”
Well I hope that this young lady knows that suing mulitbillion dollar conglomerates is going to bring that claim to the test, and yes a court in this type of case can so order a test to determine virginity.
I mean if she really wants to have her entire sexual history spashed across 24 cable news channels than have at it.

1How can you ruin the name of a person whose name no one knows? Is she saying that her family and friends now think she is a nappy headed ho? That would surprise me.
