Kilt or No Kilt?

[GG]

My first thought was that it must be joke. A dress code for a high school graduation?
In Denmark everyone is free to wear what he or she wants, unless a uniform is proscribed (police, army, hospital doctors and nurses, postmen etc.). In very, very few companies a dress code exists - even if it might be advisable to some degree to follow company "norms and culture".
Business suits have become seldom except for lawyers and accountants.

In ordinary schools, high schools and universities certainly no dress codes imply and not at any occasions.

We dress casual.

By the way, life goes on, despite of that. We have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the world.

Sounds like a magical world, Greg. Now, if Denmark were just a bit more tropically located I'd be filing papers for immigration right now.

On topic, in the US, at least, it has been ruled that student's DON'T have exactly the same rights (property searches, free speech) in the school setting.

This seems particularly silly though. It's not like he's planning on donning a kilt and a tuxedo t-shirt and showing everyone he's "regimental" (which would be my guess as to what happen the prior year).

He might (should he press the issue and show up 'dressed') wish to forgo the sgian dubh (or at least go for a 'safety' version). I could see them, having lost the battle, to try and catch him on 'carrying a weapon to a school function' even though it is an article in the tradition dress.

I've joined the group. Not that a Yank in a FB group will influence the principal much, but I'm there.

And we pay taxes and taxes and taxes. On cars the tax is 180% plus - of course - VAT 25%.

The trees do not grow up to the sky.

Therefore we must have some freedom regarding the way we dress.

Ah...

shame about the taxes, but at least you get to pay them in comfort
