    Quite frankly, not wearing a kilt is a small thing--you'll get to wear one plenty later on--so don't fret the foolishness of your overseers. A saari or daishiki would probably be OK'ed, but the fact is , a kilt isn't.

    Oh, yawn. Blow it off, and keep on keeping on. We love your spunk and desire to know and be. Esse, quam videri.

    Congratulations, my young friend. I am proud to know you.
    The bold part, I agree with. The rest? Well, if you let them get away with racist acts (and that's what it is if "a saari or daishiki would probably be OK'ed, but a kilt isn't.") then what's to stop them from wontonly taking rights away from others?

    Well done lad, well done indeed. The fact that you were able to teach your classmates something in the process makes it even better.
