The thing that's been pointed out when you use the "it's the same thing as a jewish person wearing a yamulke" argument or the "muslim wearing the full body and face covering garb" (sorry... don't know the name of the garment) is that those 2 examples use religion, where the kilt is just an example of cultural clothing.

discrimination in the workplace
All I was trying to get at was wearing a kilt is different from wearing a yamulke. One is religion and one is cultural. But, they are both forms of self-expression, that's all I was getting at.

I believe it is called a burka, although my spelling may be off.
as for the rest, I am sure everyone here already knows my take on this, no need to repeat it.
good luck, man...wear the kilt with pride and courage.

So? Why is culture less valid than religion?
