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.

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

Do you propose relegating it to a back room in a museum as an historical symbol? I ask this seriously because I am familiar with your posts and know where your heart is. Same place as mine.
