IL school board tells student: No Kilt at Prom.

[Harold Cannon]

I think it is sad that our heritage is discouraged or not permitted at all in PUBLIC schools.

I dare say that if another student with a different ethnic background or heritage wanted to wear their national dress it would be permitted for sake of being politically correct. The fact is that some or our educators are quite uneducated when it comes to this matter.

I had a similar problem in high school. I decided to wear my kilt to school and my principal and assistant principal both wanted me to go home and change. Then I pulled out the school handbook where it clearly stated that no student shall be discriminated for their ethnic background or heritage.

That shut them up really quick.
