Confederate prom dress gets student banned...

[Sherman A1]

18. You have some very valid points

with which I completely agree. She does have the right to be a "loser" and to appear as one in what I believe to be a rather silly looking dress. I wonder if the other prom attendees have rights to not be offended by her actions & attire? Where does one draw the line? According to the article she had been told some 2 months prior that such a dress would most likely be unacceptable for entrance to the event and she elected to ignore that advice, wearing the dress, spending the money and such.

It also needs to be considered that she is a student at a high school which in some way sponsored this event. The school officials have some rights & responsibilities to both the individuals as well as the whole student body & the community at large. They needed to make a decision & I believe they decided wisely. She got her 15 minutes of fame, which one suspects was her ultimate goal and will now fade from the scene. Time will tell.
