Kilts
I read yet another news article today about a high school student being turned away from a school dance for attempting to wear a kilt. In the cases I have dug into, these young men were wearing the kilt as part of a traditional outfit in order to celebrate their Scottish heritage. Do these ignorant school administrators have any concept of the First Amendment in their little Napoleonic universes? Granted, when it comes to clothing in school, the First Amendment is pretty dilute. All the administrator typically needs to do is recite some mantra concerning "disturbance of the educational process". However, I find it hard to see how allowing someone to celebrate their heritage at a function outside of class can even remotely harm the educational process. Sounds more like a very narrow minded abuse of authority by a very little man with real issues he needs to work out. Maybe he is not secure enough in himself to wear a kilt, but that should not allow him to stop others from doing so. I hope this one goes to federal court soon.
