    I suspect this thing is getting alot bigger than anyone ever expected it would. I'm sure nobody expected it to go beyond one evening or beyond the school. I think, in broader terms this is an indication that many people are getting tired of selective diversity and are now willing to step forward. This might be a good thing if the reaction is measured and intelligent.

    That was my incentive for staying involved. The Scots have been an "invisible" heritage in this country for decades. The only way we will ever become a recognized cultural presence is by picking selected incidents and standing our ground. This looked like a spot were we can draw some attention, without being off the edge of the table.

    Correct Bubba,

    This is much bigger the anyone expected.
    I think that the principle had to make a snap judgement call and it turned out to be the wrong call. A hornets nest was opened.
    The lady I talked to said that she was sorry that the H.S. would be known
    for this incident and not for all the good things.

    Wow those folks are a bit rough.
    I've got friends in Scotland that wear whatever they want with their kilts,
    as it should be.

    Hi R.,

    I for one don't listen to the tartan "police" (I have another word for them that dates back to WWII Germany). The is a piece of clothing, wear
    it like one, forget all that Victorian stuff (unless you are into that sort of thing). Have fun and let other folks have fun.

    Those are guys that see the kilt as a costume or uniform, not clothing. I wouldn't worry a bit what they have to say on the subject
