And mine (too bad I can't mention the company by name, but I would need to get some approval for that!):

Dear Mr. McClard,

I am writing to express my disappointment at your decision to prohibit young Mr. Warmack from wearing his kilt to the "Silver Arrow" dance. The kilt is a very traditional garment with a long history of acceptance and is well respected worldwide, as well as being worn in many different parts of the world. To refuse to allow the wearing of a kilt because YOU think it is a distraction is small minded and shows both a lack of knowledge about the kilt and a lack of tolerance for the young man's heritage. Given your own surname, I would have expected at least a pause for thought on your part. If I can wear a kilt as my daily wear as a senior manager in a global financial institution and not have it be a distraction even when dealing with clients, then I would think that the youth at your school would find it little problem. I urge you to reconsider your position.

The school board has given you very broad powers in determining what is appropriate for a student to wear. Unfortunately, in this case you have caused the very thing you were trying to prevent, namely a distraction to the school and student body. You would have provided a better role model for the students by accepting the wearing of the kilt with the respect that young Mr. Warmack was showing his heritage by wearing it.

If you would like to learn more about the kilt, and the wearing of it, I encourage you to contact your local St. Andrews society, local pipe and drum band, or visit http://www.xmarksthescot.com, a website devoted to the tradition and wearing of the kilt.

Sincerely,
Rob Irons
