Confederate prom dress gets student banned...

14. The war is over. The United States of America won.

Having pointed that out to those who think there's an ongoing truce here like they have in Korea, I think this girl has a right to drape herself in her hateful ignorance.

She should also not look for protection from those who are offended by her political statement. I believe they can dress as Adolph and Eva if they wrongly think it'll appeal to people (we won that war too). I think the statement she's making is "I'm a loser", and I agree.

I have the right to enter a bar in an African American neighborhood and yell racist epithets at the customers if I choose, but I alone have to deal with the responsiblities my words bring. The police aren't about to accompany me and protect my "freedom of (hate) speech".

This is something Limbaugh and others complain about when they say "why can't I call them the "N-word?". "They call each other that." He's carped about that once a year since he's been on the air. What Rush overlooks is that he has every constitutional right to use that word on the radio, he just wisely chooses not to. The KKK uses it at every rally.
