I think there seems to be a little overreacting here. I agree with some of your points thescot. However, since I am in the school district where this happened and I live right by the school, and I know the people, I might have a unique perspective. It was just a stupid mistake on the part of the principal. He was not forced to apologize, he did it on his own. He realized his mistake and learned from it. I hope you all have read the original article that was posted in the Standard Examiner. It gives you a much better idea of what this was about. This is about learning. It was about teaching others that it is NORMAL for someone to wear a kilt. I have also been in contact with the person that wrote the article. She has received a lot of feedback and is going to do a follow up story soon.

A lot of people went on about how public education does not do this, or how it messes up that. I agree. It seems to have gotten away from the original intent of the article. Again, it was a silly mistake (all of us have done something just as silly). That is what I think. Don't read to much into it.
