    I am a father with the opposite problem. I am all in favor of kilts, and so is my son who is a junior in high school. he wantsto wear his kilt to school, but I have told him not to. here are the reasons. we just moved here at the beginning of the school year, so he is not well known. I have only seen one man in a kilt here. I am afraid he will get teased or beat up. I think that is all. I told him to wear it around after school and to games and other activities to give the ignorant a chance to get used to it. sound reasonable?

    I think the worst I will get is teased, I go to a magnet school and a fight gets you out of the school and no one really wants that.

    But I guess your right though, I'm relatively new to the school. Maybe I should wait a little bit.

    I can totally understand that aspect. I don't where my kilt everywhere. As much as I hate to admit that I've been intimidated from wearing it somewhere, my grandparents live in the country and many of their neighbors are less than open-minded about most things. I know my father was worried about me wanting to wear it there and I'm a (semi) grown man. But don't worry; even if you can't wear it now for everything (turn, turn, turn) there is a season (turn, turn, turn). (I wonder how they ever came up with such wonderful and orignal lyrics)
