There's always two sides to a conflict. Many Xmemebers have voiced their opinions, and what side they'd take. Who will win? I hope our young lad will!! Maybe a compromise is the answer, whatever that might be....never a guarantee.

However, I feel that too many folks, here, are saying to give in! No way! If you truly think this is a battle worth the fight, then go for it! Too many people are willing to "give in" and not follow through. Yes, you might not win, and there might be repercussions, but did you follow your heart? It's one thing to follow through, just for being a trouble maker, but it's another thing when principle is involved! The founding fathers of the US, did they give in? Did Martin Luther give in? Did Joan of Arc give in? History is full of people who had a cause and followed through. Guess that's why they made history.

This kilted prom thing might not seem like such a big deal in the realm of things, but it's these little things that truly make life what it is, and worth fighting for.

As for the comments about the Chicago schools and their lawyers, well, I can not say how they operate, as I'm not in that state. But, in my state, which is in US Judicial District # 3, it might be a different story if it ever got that far.

As a product of the 60's, I'm the rebel with a cause. Had not my generation stood up to the US Government with all our protests, we'd probably still be in Vietnam!

Ok, just my .02 cents worth! Whatever happens, do what your heart tells you. Good luck at the prom.
