Weber School District spokesman Nate Taggart says Craig Jessop has been asked to extend an apology to 14-year-old student Gavin McFarland of Hooper after the school official's comments Wednesday.

Gavin says he wore the kilt twice in the past two weeks to Rocky Mountain Junior High as a prop for an art project. Jessop told the boy that the outfit could be misconstrued as cross-dressing.

Taggart says the district recognizes the kilt as an expression of the boy's Scottish heritage and that the kilt was not inappropriate.

Kilts are traditional Scottish apparel generally worn by men for formal or special occasions.

that principal was an ass.

[>:]  I couldn't imagine anyone with half a brain confusing a kilt with cross dressing. So obviously the principle didn't even have that.

Wait - lest we forget, we're talking Mormon country  and their, uhhhhhhhh, peculiarities. [8|]

shhhh!  Christine's there, so is Asher.  Some of them aren't so peculiar.  There's hope for UT yet!



Rainfire -> RE: For the kilt lovers here.... (5/19/2009 12:50:48 PM)

[:D]  Keep hoping, Peaches, Asher and Christine are the rays of light there. Take it from the ex-mo from the other Mormon country: Southern Idaho.

It's called behind the Zion Curtain for a reason, y'know....

And even if he was cross dressing. So what? [8|]

I guess the jackass of a reporter forgets that kilts are also worn by us proud Irish folk!

Exactly! As long as when he was dressing he was within the school dress code for girls, who cares?
Real tolerant out there...........

Please. Girls can wear pants, previously traditional male clothing, so why can't boys wear skirts. Here during spirit week there's always a couple who do this, nobody bats an eye.

And a kilt isn't a skirt, besides if it was for an art project, why didn't this twit call up the art teacher and ask?



soul2share -> RE: For the kilt lovers here.... (5/19/2009 6:29:30 PM)

hey, it could've been worse...with today's school staffing, he coulda tried to look UP the kilt!



mydomsabstrd -> RE: For the kilt lovers here.... (5/19/2009 6:57:38 PM)

the kid in question should tape the apology and put it on youtube.
