I've just spoken with the VP.

He described the day's attire as being from the 1950's-1970's, therefore, the Braveheart look is inappropriate.*

We discussed his reasons, and he gave the one that I agreed with: other teenage boys will probably not be able to resist the temptations to inappropriate behavior during the school day. (AKA - my son may get suspended from school for reacting to a kilt check by pounding some fool into a pulp. This was not an anticipated problem when I paid for all those karate lessons.)

Since the ultimate goal is Prom and the VP insists that this is the decision of the school board, a pair of finely-turned out young men will be attending a school board meeting in the future. If you've seen Prestor John's eldest son's wedding photos, you know how good Ryjel can look.

In the meantime, I will ask the Xmarkers for links to sites concerning previous events where young men wanted to wear kilts to proms and ultimately prevailed. I've seen two in this thread, but perhaps someone would kindly point out the petition that thousands signed? I would also appreciate any essays that Xmarkers or others have written about kilts. We will go in prepared.

We will also go with as many kilted gents as we can.

Thanks everyone!
