just about schools and dress codes here...most public schools with which i am familiar have some form of dress code normally involving phrases such as, 'nothing offensive, nothing obscene, nothing too short/showing a great deal of skin' etc.
now, what i am wondering is how the school officials knew the girl was planning to wear a confederate flag dress. next up, i don't think they should have told her 'not' to wear it as that opens the door for her to do exactly what she did..wear it against the rules, get large scale media attention, and make a statement......i have also never heard of a school dress code that prohibits political flags...then again, i do remember my highschool barring the confederate flag in question here from being larger than a patch on a tshirt. That was definitely a strange rule, but the school was close to 50/50 white/black.
about lincoln's slavery position: when lincoln and co walked into richmond, the only LEGAL slaves in the state belonged to his wife...
