I didn't understand the emotion involved in the confederate flag until I visited Nashville last year. There are some people that take great pride in that part of American history. Is it a symbol of slavery? To some yes and to other no. Should kids wear it as a dress to school dances? I think they shouldn't. Does she have the right to? Yes. I personally think it would be a bad idea because so many people would be offended by it. Wearing this dress to a school function is making it a statement. She meant to cause an uproar about it. That is why she's suing the school district. She purposely did this to get attention and money.
