While I do agree that this may be a fight that you may not necessarily win,as most schools have a "no distracting clothing" rule, you should *definitely* do something about those members of staff. Even if you don't see them much anymore, they have made the school environment a hostile place for you, and that is simply unacceptable. You said that you got the vice principal to back down on the gym shorts under the kilt. (Which brings up the question, how were they planning to enforce that anyway?) Since he seems to have some sense, in that he backed down when faced with *that* obvious discrimination lawsuit, it seems to me he's likely to go greener than Ireland in the springtime when he finds out that two of his teachers have been verbally abusing a student who knows his rights. If the vice principal doesn't do anything about it, go over his head on up through the school board. If you can afford a lawyer, by all means get one, but I can tell you now, I won quite a few battles in high school armed with just my knowledge of my rights and the willingness to take it to the next level- and I never had to take anything as far as court. By the time I left high school the principal and I were fairly friendly (although he feared to see me coming into his office) because he knew I was an intelligent person who fought for my rights and didn't back down- but I always showed respect, and expected the same in return.
I hope you get to keep your kilt, but I hope even more that you get those two teachers fired or at least disciplined. If they are harassing you about the kilt, what are they harassing others about? Go get 'em man, you've got right on your side-and a big brass pair to go along with it!
