I was then asked "Has any of the administration said anything to you?" and I was able to answer "No"

My Principal has seen me kilted on several occasions, in fact one day called me into her office so she could observe me in my Black Watch Sport Kilt (ugh) on Tartan day. So, my "Big Boss" is cool with it, and my boss, or Assistant Principal mentioned in an aside yesterday that she was unhappy with what some people wore on her floor. She could have been talking about me, but since I always dress well when kilted (and how can you not really?) I wore a kilt again today.

It is truly a great experience to have the freedom to be free at work. PD, I salute you!!
BronxKilt,
Are you working in the New York public school system? If so, that gives me hope for going kilted while teaching! I am looking to make a move to teaching at the university level one day and hope that I can do so at a place openminded enough to allow the kilt. Until then. . . we'll see.
