This is totally asinine. I went to high school in Nebraska and we wore hoops under our full circle skirts every day to school - had nothing to do with the south.
Are you sure it wasn’t a petticoat you wore? So did I.
Hoops, no.
Black women wore Hoop skirts too! As soon as they got some money—they bought what was in fashion . Its silly caused by anything linked to the Civil War era as racist.
Well....we’ll have to ban 1950’s poodle skirts, too. In the 1950’s there was segregation in the South. Can’t have that.
