Well, go figure...

Kilts are mentioned. It's worth reading.

Interesting that it says that the note that he was sent home with specifically mentioned "kilts" among the rest of the proscribed items of clothing...

...do you think that there might be a web forum for high school principals out there in cyber-land where they have had extensive discussion of kilt-wearing as a result of the recent events in Missouri and that gave this principal the idea that he should include kilts?

Seems like it makes the anniversary date of the Tartan Proscription Act one that should be used by those who are kilted to educate those who just don't get it.

Fox News is about to cover this after a commercial break.

Shepard Smith on Foxcast. Smith did some excellent reporting on the Katrina Hurricane and its aftermath.

This was not a very sympathetic report -- plus being interrupted by a live speech from President Bush. There was lots of joking and condescending remarks.

We shouldn't expect much support from the mainstream press. Their job is to reflect the attitudes and values of their audience, not to educate them.

Education is our job as kilt wearers, and the job of the kiltmakers. Whatever you think of the ACLU, in this case, they cut through all the B.S. and achieved fairness.

The student, Coviello, was wearing a tartan kilt in what looked like Royal Stewart tartan, a black t-shirt with some kind of printed image on it, and tennis shoes.

I wonder if that's what the printed story meant by "'costume-style' dress."

Hell, those ignorant buggers don't even know what a dress is, why should I credit anything they report?

I saw this story first thing this morning on, I think abc national news. They ran the story without comment but I was suspect of their reasons for running the story. They showed a skirt at the beginning of the story and then showed the kid going up some stairs in what looked kilt-like. Perhaps someone else got a better look than I did while trying to save my breakfast from the dog.
