I know this was mentioned on another thread, but the young lady who wore the Confederate flag-styled prom dress was just on the Larry Elder Show with her lawyer. Larry said she might win her case based on the violation of the first amendment. But, Larry tried to express to her that not everyone views the Confederate flag the same way, some see it as a symbol of repression, the young lady sees it as a symbol of her heritage. The young lady countered by saying that even Blacks fought along with Confederate soldiers in the Civil War.

Just a little background. A young White student in Tennessee designed her prom dress to look like the Confederate flag. She attends a predominately White hs (~90 % White). She felt that the dress was a way to show pride in her heritage.
