    Distraction my ***.

    This wasn't during class, which would be somewhat understandable (though I'll admit dumb) this was during a school dance.

    I'd show up in Priest vestments, and jewish yamica next time just to tick the principle off.

    I dropped him a line too. I know school administrators though, they can be a pretty thickheaded lot. I hope young Nathan at least finds out he has a lot of support.

    Next on CNN...No Kidding.

    It hit CNN this morning. Now you'll be seeing a lot more Kilts in the Classroom.

    http://www.cnn.com/2005/EDUCATION/12....ap/index.html

    "What began with a few yards of tartan has sparked an international debate about freedom, symbols and cultural dress. More than 1,600 people have signed an Internet petition seeking an apology for the high school senior.

    Scots in the United States are assembling a traditional ensemble they hope the student will wear to the prom, and his family is trying to change the school's dress code policy."

    I'm glad to see CNN carry the store now. I just wish they'd use the dance photo.

    Also, I find it interesting that they noted that boys in kilts have been turned away from school or school events, but several boys actively cross-dressing were deemed acceptable.

    What the h*** is going on in our schools?!?!?!?!

    In the queue,

    Mr. McClard,

    I was most disturbed to hear of your decision to ban Nathan Warmack from the dance your school held recently. I have no information as to whether his attire was indecent (suggestive or inadequate) but I will give the benefit of the doubt to the young man. A kilt, well and proudly worn, is no less formal than a tuxedo or dinner jacket and slacks. If the student body can treat an out of the mainstream outfit with aplomb, the parents of said student have no problem with the kilt and the school board agrees, I would think that an apology and permission to wear the kilt outfit at future activities is in order.

    Thank you for your time,

    Hey no offense taken. Faith is heritage, after all.

    Like I said, just make it a religious article of clothing.

    Then who can argue?

    Besides, it's a cloth with a bunch of crosses woven into it. What could be more Christian than "putting on" one's cross? As many as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ! (Gal. 3:27)

    Very Orthodox,.

    FYI, I picked this little info gem up recently somewhere. Sorry I can't remember the reference.

    The tartan has also been considered a religious garment.
    In ancient Ireland and Scotland, the Leabhar Breac, multi-colored tartan, sewn in cloaks called brat (pronounced braht) were worn by druids.
    When Christianity came to Scotland, the tartan became the vestment of priests, and was transformed into a cloth with eight colors, known as The Robe of Offerings. Eight colors indicated that while officiating, the priest was superior to the king, who wore seven colors.
    Sacred vessels of the Eucharist were covered with two veils, the inner of pure white linen, and the outer of checkered silk called a siric brec.
