Boy wears kilt to school dance and is told to put on pants

A student in Jackson, Missouri decided to honor his Scottish heritage by wearing a kilt to his high schoool dance, but when he arrived, the principal told him to put on a pair of pants. This is the latest in a series of "no kilts allowed" actions by principals at school dances across the country.

A southeast Louisiana student told me that at her school, students are not allowed to attend the dances unless they have dates. That, of course, is a lawsuit waiting to happen, but no one at the school has filed one, to my dismay. And if one of them should obey the rule and bring a date of the same gender, I can only imagine how that would turn out.
