Prom Pics Missing This Year??

[Riverkilt]

Seems like this time of year we used to see a lot of kilted for the prom pics. Maybe its me, but I haven't seen them this year yet. Yes, some mention by us older folks, but not the youngsters kilted up for prom.

Did I miss some?

Or has (gasp) wearing a kilt to the prom become no big deal anymore?

Or worse, have the youngsters abandonded kilts for the prom due to the administrative hassles?

Don't know if we won or lost on that front....??

I vote for it not being a big deal, but that is me.

"Or worse, have the youngsters abandonded kilts for the prom due to the administrative hassles?"

No more calls, please. I think we may have a winner.

I think parochial schools, in particular, those with Catholic and Presbyterian ties, are likely to be more willing to allow a kid to wear a kilt without overthinking it. Is he crossdressing? Is he making fun of crossdressers or gay men?

Public school administrators are so paranoid -- and not without reason -- of an overlitigious society that the kids may have tanked the idea.

And Episcopalian/Anglican...in fact, I would daresay there are more kilt-wearers in the Episcopal Church than any other denomination.

Sorry, but I had to stand-up for my church.

I do not think proms are as important anymore. I have a nepphew where his prom had no money this year due to school budget cuts so noone went.

I'm a little out of touch, but my parents said the same thing, Dan. The local high schools in their area didn't have the budget for a well done prom this year and almost no one went.

Edit: The same schools were forced to close down their shop and art classes this year as well.

Thats a durn shame! Things will turn around.

Ummm, we're far from prom but I do believe the word heathen comes from heather and that the first heathens were Scots.

I don't think there are any prom pictures because we don't have any high schoolers on the boards...
