Although we have similar overall opinions of this situation I would suggest a bit of a change in language, or at least specification of the difference between ignorance and uneducated. To not know something is to be uneducated about it. To then be educated about it but not care (show indifference) is then being ignorant of its value and relevance. I believe that this principle is no longer uneducated about the kilt and its heritage and propriety for wearing to prom. He is uneducated about the civil liberties of Isaac and is ignorant of his rights as a human to dress as he sees fit and appropriate for this occasion. Lack of education is usually remediable with a little effort, while ignorance of the facts to which one was just educated is a active personality choice.

Ignorance is active indifference, it is a strong word, and quite offensive to many, especially when it is thrown in their direction. Uneducated or indifferent are softer ways to describe degrees of the same thing, with uneducated on one end (relatively innocent end), indifferent in the middle, and ignorant at the other (more malignant) end of the spectrum. Caution in using them is always best to keep from turning off your listener when attempting to educate or persuade someone.
