The Battle for the Kilt in Saint Louis, Missouri - USA

[creagdhubh]

Greetings,

I noticed this recent story whilst perusing on Facebook and thought I'd share it with the rabble. The story takes place in my hometown of Saint Louis, Missouri located in the midwestern part of the US (for those abroad and are not familiar) and is presented on a major AM radio station, KMOX in Saint Louis.

I would like to preface the story by saying that I wore my kilt to my Senior Prom (dance) in 1999 and had no difficulties at all getting permission from school administrators in order to do so. Fortunately, they understood that the kilt is indeed considered the National Attire of Scotland and is a traditional ethnic garment and not a costume, but rather called Scottish Highland attire. The latter was better demonstrated in person when the school officials saw my evening dress come Prom night. They were quite impressed and pleased with my presentation of appropriate Highland evening attire (I had to leave the sgian dubh at home). Enjoy.
