Here's a news story I just read on Yahoo News:

article

Go kilt-wearers!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Utah school makes student change out of kilt, now principal must apologize Sun May 17, 6:11 PM By The Associated Press WEST HAVEN, Utah - The principal of a Utah middle school has been asked to apologize for forcing a kilt-wearing student to change his clothes.

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.

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.

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....

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?
