Remove the Southern belle from her inglorious perch
When administrators at the University of Georgia declared a ban on hoop skirts in the spring, I could only think, what took you so long?

But in that sense UGA was really no different from other Southern schools. Long after many universities had officially done away with a variety of Old South symbols, the feminine figure most clearly identified with Dixie â€” the Southern belle â€” continued to enjoy free rein. College administrators who had long since banned the Confederate battle flag, nixed the singing of â€œDixieâ€ and given plantation-owner mascots the boot were still saying yes to the dress.

Wearing hoop skirts to unofficial campus social events such as fraternity-sponsored Old South balls, after all, was just feminine. Just fluff. Just women.

The hoop skirt ban was enacted in response to an ensuing uproar in March at the University of Oklahoma after members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a fraternity with Southern roots, were caught on video chanting a racist song with references to lynching. The ban also came just weeks before University of Mississippi student Graeme Phillip Harris was indicted on federal civil rights charges of leaving a noose and a flag bearing Confederate insignia on a statue of James Meredith, the schoolâ€™s first black student. Harris has since pleaded guilty. Of the charges, then-Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. noted, â€œNo one should ever be made to feel threatened or intimidated because of what they look like or who they are.â€ The Mississippi NAACP branch has called the actions a hate crime.

But we all know "progressives" would never do that, right?

Right?

11. When I first read it, I thought it was from the Onion

Also would love to see how they define it and what the penalty would be.Banning a style of clothing? On a college campus? How amusing.

Boyd's scholarly focus appears to be on the attire of a southern belle...if you can call that scholarly.

They know that their time is short, and the "winds of change" are blowing hard--against them.

They're partially lamenting the fact that their time is coming to an end, and partially lamenting what is coming with those ill (to them) winds. :evillaugh:

It never ends. It will NEVER end, until they are exterminated. If not for the Hyannis Port Oldsmobile salesman, we would probably be well on our way to doing that.
