Tennessee Girl Barred From Prom For Wearing Confederate Flag Dress

A senior at a Tennessee high school got turned away from her prom when she showed up in a custom-made Confederate flag dress.

Texanna Edwards, 18, of Trenton, Tenn., said she wasn't allowed inside Gibson County High School's prom on Saturday because officials deemed the knee-length red dress trimmed with the stars and bars was "offensive and inappropriate," she told the Tennessean.

The controversial flag is seen as a symbol of slavery-era racism by many, though others believe it stands for the heritage of the South.

If she wore one with the stars and stripes I guess that would be offensive to some one. It is history...get over it!

It is not the confederate flag. It is the confederate battle flag. Rednecks suck at history.

I also wonder what her date wore.

I'm not crazy about the Confederate flag. I Don't like what it stands for. But there is that little thing called the first amendment.
