Host,
Given the same set of circumstances, I would indeed support such a dress.
You've made a bad assumption, e.g. that I don't find the stars and bars offensive, when in reality I do. I think that it has become inextricably linked to racism, even as the swastika has.
I also think that I need to say that I think that schools need to be allowed to set dress codes and that children should be censored in some ways that adults are not. What I see in the offered comparative case is hypocrisy, that a school cannot censor a child for wearing a homosexual related t-shirt, but that they can for wearing a confederate dress.
IMO, neither should be allowed if they become a disruption or both should be allowed. (I would actually institute manditory dress codes banning t-shirts, but that is another thread.)
