Well, at least not out of the gate: you don't want to start out confrontational.
It's already been made a confrontation. A school official called the kid out on wearing his kilt. I don't see a problem with pointing out to the principal that other schools have been roasted on the internet and in the media for being bigoted and hypocritical over the same issue. Nothing is secret in the world of the internet. He probably doesn't want the heat.

I personally have a problem with any school official, teacher, aide, or janitor telling my kid that he is wrong about anything. The way he dresses is the way I send him out the door. If there is a problem, address ME. Do not embarrass my child in front of others in order to make your point. There are too many teachers and faculty members that have insane egos and superiority complexes.

I had a librarian tell my 9 year old son that he was a liar because he told the class a story of one of his ancestors (my great-grandfather) who fought in the American Civil War and how he was wounded at Chickamauga. I sent photos and copies of records to school the next day. I wanted to deliver them personally.

If they told me my son was unable to wear a kilt to any school function, the first call I would make is to my attorney. He happens to be of Scottish descent as well.

Maybe I'm not the guy to ask if you don't want to ruffle feathers. I don't take it lightly when people use position, age, and degrees of education to bully others.
