US: Student asked to change out of kilt seeks dress code change
Nathan Warmack wanted to honor his heritage by wearing a Scottish kilt to his high school dance. Then a principal told him to change into a pair of pants.
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.
"It's a kilt. It's going to turn heads, but I never believed it would have become what it is," Warmack said.

Hey! I'm Scottish myself and take this as a rather grave insult!
(Sure most of us don't bother to wear them for anything other than formal events but that's besides the point)
I think people should be proud of their heritage, and proud to be who they are.
That a student should be punished for wearing something other than trousers is ridiculous.
They're saying girls can wear skirts OR trousers, but guys can't choose?
(because a kilt is basically a manly form of skirt tbph)
Anyway, there's my say on the matter.
Jerks, just jerks.
