What a stupid lawsuit. Principals should be able to send home anyone who shows up dressed inappropriately for a school function, too bad that action isn't taken more often. Whatever happened to common sense?

The irony is that this stunt reinforces the stereotype of the Dixie-fanatics being a bunch of obsessed and wound-too-tight goofballs.

Yeah, those are pretty stupid, too. If her prom was full of this, then I guess she has a gripe. When I was in high school we were all in black tuxes and stylish dress, with colored bow ties and cumberbunds the only major variations, other than a few bitter cranks, who I guess would be goths these days.

But then most of us also had taste and took pride in our appearance, instead of wearing scruffy rags, plumber's crack fall-down pants, and greasy wakeup hair.

IMHO the young lady needs supported in this. Some of the FReepJerks need to relook their reasons for being on Free Republic. Seems like the libs are invading here more than ever.

What if the dress had and RNC republican eliphant theme? Would this publik skuul principle have banned that too?

What if her dress had a large cross on the side?

What if her dress had written Merry Christmas?!

"No one should be allowed to desecrate the confederate flag by wearing it."

She's not wearing the confederate flag or any other flag for that matter. She is wearing a dress. A dress designed with the concept of the flag in mind. Does the confederate flag also have all that glitter? Of course not. For Pete's sake, if wearing clothes that reminds you of a flag is considered to be desecrating the flag, then every 4th of July you must go completely mad.

Kind of reminds me: How come Kadafi never made General?

he was a colonel when he did the coup and didn't want to be a general because that would be too 'upper class' whilst colonels were 'people's officers'

Personally, I think it's a beautiful dress.

This article is completely wrong....She's nowhere near attractive... (flame-suit on)

Have to agree. For such a, um, robust girl, red is not a good color.

She ain't gonna win any beauty contests ... but I wouldn't (have, when I was a young man) toss her out for eating crackers.

Chubby girls do tend to try harder.....

If we practice the same degree of reverence and respect to the flag of the 13 southern states, than this gown is a violation of flag protocol, and in fact has the effect of defaming southern heritage, by defaming the flag and letting it touch the ground, etc (for displaying my confederate flag, I observe the same protocol for it as is expected for the US flag.....

I didn't say there was any logic to it.

Do they use acetone to take the duct tape attire off?

Inquiring minds want to know.
