I'm sorry, but you are ignoring part of the problem. Why the hell did the school tell her she could not wear it? Do they have the right to tell you not to wear it? And what is the justification? Is it really because the flag is racists or just because the administration decided it is a racist symbol.
It's a really a big issue. I don't know how many of you were in high school recently, but the over-conservative administrations are becoming ridiculous. I had a label on a pair of my pants about a quarter of an inch in size(accidentally left it on the pants) when my school had a dress code against labels. I was initially suspended for it. I had friends that were reccommended by administration for expulsion for a video that expressed beliefs that were not entirely Christian in a school with Christian administration. So I think the issue of an power hungry administration that forces their beliefs on other people need to be addressed in this post.
Now, I'm fairly both sides in this situation. Alot of people the fly the confederate flag are not racists. But everyone knows that it's going to piss off alot of people. The girl should have just avoided controversy in this situation. However, she is a teenager, so what do you expect really? While this issue is an attack on rights, the girl probably needed to just use common sense.
