Utah school forces student to change out of kilt

I have a problem getting my mind around prohibiting something because someone else might misunderstand why you are doing it. Not misunderstands but might... So before you do something you should make sure everyone totally understands why you are doing what ever it is you are doing?
Bahh! Thanks I feel better now.
It sort of reminds me of Article 2 of the Bill of no Rights that says 'You do not have the right to never be offended.'

A very few of the people on here have met me and know that I will often talk with various accents, the quality of which vary, but are second nature to me. I once got in trouble from the manager where I worked for talking with a 'Hindu' accent. It wasn't the few Indians that I knew and enjoyed it, no, it was an African descended (in that area, I wouldn't vouch for them to be Americans at all) who was angry because

I am Islamic, and there are Islamic people in India, and if you are disrespectful to India, you are insulting Islamic people everywhere.

I kid you not. I am still irritated about it years later. Not enough that it rules my life, its actually on the list of reasons I will never work for Walgreens again.

My sincerest apologies for all the wonderful people of Utah. Every state has their stereotype, and I in no way intended to tag the LDS Church. It just popped in my head.

I hope my ignorance will be excused. And an even more heartfelt apology to Todd. Thanks for the heads up.

No need for an apology, Dan. You didn't offend me at all; I just wanted to point out the historical facts regarding polygamy.

Regards,

Todd
