I think she has a lawsuit, after all she is only wearing a red prom dress with a blue ribbon and stars, she looks quite patriotic. As they say at my school "you go girl".

Just imagine the stink the school would have raised if she had worn an American flag-based dress.
Yowsa.

I appreciate the freedom involved here, she should be able to wear this. However, the Confederate battle flag is a soldier's flag, a solemn remembrance, and a historical symbol. Wearing it on dresses, or bikinis, or using it as a modern political symbol diminishes this position.

Students are allowed --- if not encouraged to wear the flags or wave the flags of certain countries --- at least those deemed okay on the politically correct list --- it's fine for them to show their true patriotism --- which isn't to our country and their heritage.

Yes she does have a case I believe. For starters the 6th circuit court of appeals has overturned a rulling that schools could ban the confederate flag.
Also, if you look closely, one 'strand' of the southern cross (the big X of the battle flag) is overlapping the other. Which means that this dress isin't actually any flag known to man, as the real confederate battle flag has no overlapping.

I find it almost sad that one of the last states who joined the confederates and fought brother-against-brother and father-against-son is still battling over the right to use this flag.
Good article in this link:

Patriotic? She is wearing the colors of an enemy force that was determined to rip apart our nation. And don't give me that tired old "states rights" crap. The Confederate States sought an ending to the unity that eventually saved the world thru 2 world wars. Please......................

I'd cut her some slack. After all she was carring it into battle. What more appropriate situation would one use a flag for?

Yeah. . .I bet she would have be alright if she wore a dress patterned after the Palestinian flag.
To: oioiman
Yup. . .we all know the Civil War had nothing to do with states rights.

I'm amazed that even here, a lot just don't get it!
The issue is this: Liberals insist that we (conservatives) be tolerant of EVERYTHING they approve of and any reluctance is met with cries of bigot etc. Conversely any symbol they DON'T like is also bigoted whether its Merry Christmas, the cross on a state seal, under God in the allegiance or even the Confederate battle flag.
Can you pinheads see where this is going? They are setting ALL the rules about what is acceptable and I for one will not tolerate that any longer. Figure it out!
