Of course a kilt UNDER wouldn't be an issue, but I think everyone graduating in the exact same clothes is bloody boring, I would take a dress kilt outfit over caps and gowns any day, I think it sets us apart, I know one grad class years ago had all the guys in formal kilt wear for the ceremony. And Archangel thanks, but it's gradding from High School, so we defintiely get much less leeway than I feel we should.

What a great story Dale,
I'm sure you brought joy to your daughter as well.
But so cool you were able to cheer an expatriot Scotsman.
Jewddha,
Had visions of you first in your traditional cap and gown for the ceremony, then after the ceremony at the various celebrations wearing the graduation gown open like an Inverness cape.

Well, my cousin IS known for apprehending the gown from her graduation and turning it into a ballroom dress, I may have to keep the family spirit alive and get myself one tailor-made cape ;)

I would recomend anyone experiencing discrimination of any discription to expose it and sing from the rooftops, The banning of any form of traditional dress i not acceptable, i does not matter how strong your "connection" with Scotland is if you want to wear the Kilt then wear it.
of topic slightly whenever I see thoe graduations it always reminds me of a memorable scene in "Porkys 3" -Mods if this is a bit near the Knuckle I wont be offended if you chop this post
