Edwards' defense:

“I didn’t talk with administration because we wore rebel flags all through my four years at Gibson County. I didn’t ask for approval because I didn’t think I needed to. I had one teacher tell me it was a bad idea. but I just thought she only said that because it would offend people. But I asked a bunch of people before I had the dress made and they all loved the idea.”

Edwards said she doesn’t know what her next step will be, but she does not plan to let this go.

(That means she will probably try to sue the school.)
