I don't think there'd be anything better, than mother and sons showing up in kilts, at the board meeting, to request kilts be allowed to be worn at the formal. Of course, you'd contact the media and find a reporter interested in this local content for a story. Heck, why not for daily wear at school? Might I also suggest, that if the lads do in fact enjoy wearing the kilt, that they do some individual research for their own knowledge, and present it at the meeting.

I wear my kilt to white/black tie events and I always receive praise and admiration for my attire. One such event commemorates the War of 1812 for the Battle of Queenston Heights. It's always attended by dignitaries from both sides of our open border. At the battle on the Plains of Abraham, in Quebec September 13, 1759, the British and Scots fought the French.
