PiscesSchool Forces Student to Change out of Kilt
Associated Press: The principal of a Utah middle school has been asked to apologize for forcing a kilt-wearing student to change his clothes.
Gavin says he wore the kilt twice in the past two weeks to Rocky Mountain Junior High as a prop for an art project. Jessop told the boy that the outfit could be misconstrued as cross-dressing.
Taggart says the district recognizes the kilt as an expression of the boy's Scottish heritage and that the kilt was not inappropriate.
Kilts are traditional Scottish apparel generally worn by men for formal or special occasions.

Utah is a very close minded state, run by the LDS church. I know I live here. They are close minded and bigoted. Ya, they apologized, but it should have never been an issue.
Melissa, why are you making this into an issue of religion? Nowhere in the article is religion mentioned. This is about a school principal. I don’t think there’s any need to make this so personal.
That said … what a fool the principal was. If he’d had any sense at all, he’d know that MEN wear kilts traditionally, not women.
Jill, It’s Utah. The chances of religion being involved (mentioned or not), are astronomically high. So it’s pretty safe to assume it might have been a factor, and therefore—despite the whole issue being complete bollocks—not surprising at all.
As a transplant to Utah, I am not surpised that they freaked out. I have never met so many close minded assholes in my life.
