Another highschooler barred from prom.

I would agree with you 100% adam...if the school had turned away all of the people breaking the dress code, but they didn't. Yea. The dress code stated that there were to be no midrifts showing for women, and there were two girls who had that filmy stuff covering it (you know, see-through)one of these girls was the daughter of one of our prom advisors. Yes, I understand that her midrift was covered, but that would be like someone wearing a fishnet shirt to school with nothing else underneath. They're still covered up right? Plus a lot of those other girls' dresses had them showing more skin then eric did. And if they want to tell me that a kilt is not "traditional american attire" then they'd damn well better tell us what it is. It's certainly not a tux, i know that much.
sorry...i'm ranting now. I just don't understand my school at all.

Thing is, there is nothing legally binding that expressly prohibits "kilts" in the dress code. To lump them into the catagory of "shorts" was done after the fact. So that makes the people making these sorts of choices a bunch of ingnorant farktards. The kilt was added ad hoc, with out even proper consultation of classification.

What it boils down to is a bunch of ingorant mindless redneck hicks discriminating on that which is different.

There are a couple of businesses where I live that apply a dress code to customers. I have been challenged ONCE by an overzealous shopkeeper. I humbled him in his own store. His shop closed about a month later because nobody gave him business.

Sounds like the facility could use new management. Time to howl for blood.

Hey fellow X-Markers, who's up for a road trip? I dare say the sudden appearance of a bunch of kilted angry berserkers would change their minds... or at least rearrange their offices!

jena, high school is easy to understand. It's a breeding ground for petty bureacrats and lemmings. Anything truely different from the adopted convention is viewed with fear and individualists are not welcomed. Hang on to your principles and don't let em grind you down. You don't have to put up with the fools for that long. Keep your grades up, graduate, then give em the bird.

Right on, Bubba!
A bureaucrat's job is to do nothing, to never be noticed, to follow the rules to the letter. The worst bureaucrats are incapable of making rational decisions.

Bureaucracies always turn into aristocracies. It's so hard to hold responsible those in power because there are so many bureaucratic layers between you.

That's a really good idea Kilt Wilter. You all should come up. It would be totally cool to see the look on Roggenbuck's face if you all breezed through our door. Priceless. Plus I really want to meet everybody. You've all been great, and all of your opinions have definitely strengthened my resolve.

Road Trip!

Somebody needs to swing by and pick me up. I don't own a car.

We need to get right up in their faces!

Strike while the iron is hot.

The person most responsible for this can Deoghail am fallus bhàrr duine mharbh siadha tiadhan!!! And if he didn't like what I had to say I would tell him "Ith mo chac! Tha thu cho duaichnidh ri èarr àirde de a' coisich deas damh!"

The above post was meant to be mildly offensive, with out crossing the line. If my translation guide was wrong somehow, and it did cross the line, I will gladly change it. I am dealing with a language I don't speak much of. Forgiveness please if I said something so offensive and awful that it makes your heads explode in error.
