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".

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.

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......................

She has considerably more than *just* a lawsuit, if she wants to push it.
