I sent of my reply to the Superintendent. I wish I'd save it so I could post it here. I reminded him that the Act of Proscription had been repealed

I'm not trying to be political here but has anyone brought this issue up with anyone at the ACLU? I think I'll Contact them and see what their reply is in regards to these two cases.

I have seen the criticisms that some have posted rergarding this young man's attire, but lets remember that he is 13yrs old. I think all things considered he looks good, yes its not a Prince Charlie or even an Argyle, and he could do with some kilt hose, but how many of us were wearing kilts at age 13? I was but only because I was learning the bagpipes. Lets cut the lad a wee bit o' slack it seems nobody else is.

You Know with just a wee bit of tayloring to that sports coat you could make a rather nice klit jacket out of it. It goes match very well with the B/W tartan (which is more than I can say for myself most of the time). Add a silver buttons, neck tie a belt and a sporran and he would be very well turned out.

Alas, I have to say without some sort of neck tie or cravat he isn't really wearing formal wear. The same would go for the other young man without jacket, tie, sporran, or belt.

Maybe these two school administrators are just trying to uphold Kilt standards. They both have Scottish last names. I doubt it though, they most likely don't know front from back.
