To me, and to millions of other people, the confederate battle flag is a symbol that marks racism and white supremacy. Make all the arguments you want, But I went to school in the South, and you had the occasionaly dipshit ask "are you a nigger lover?". So I can recognize a racist symbol and what it entails.
As far as the 14 year old girl, is no one upset by the fact that this girl has such a sexual statement on her shirt, regardless of the sexuality preference? I don't think the school should condone a shirt stating Barbie's sexual preference. This girl is 14 years old, dammit. 14 year olds are way too young for this, and the school has every right to make her change her clothes or go home. Sexual discussions do not belong in school except for in a classroom with a qualified teacher.
