    I've been posting this and emailing it to everyone I know. Maybe it's paying off!

    Actually, Nighthawk, I meant "dysfunctional." I'm usually more worried about the forum logging me off if I don't post quickly enough, than spelling correctly.
    Ehh, I'm dysfunctional.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Apparently not. The press may have gotten it wrong, as I was just on FB and Hamish denies that anyone from his family has been in contact with any talk show...

    Nonetheless, it does seem that this story keeps picking up steam and has attracted media attention from just about every major Canadian daily newspaper, and his Facebook page certainly has international support.

    I posted to his facebook. If he wears the kilt under his Robe who is going to know anyway? He was told he could wear it to the after graduation dinner, so what is the big deal?????

    Wow...if I can't trust the Vancouver Sun, who can I trust? Just another example of the "liberal, left wing press spreading disinformation" I guess. Those dirty pinko's and their fellow travelers!

    I joke sometimes about how the clan jumps to help in a number of types of matters, sure the family probably didn't contact anyone, but that doesn't mean it wasn't done. Ferguson might well have seen it on the news, or any of the hundreds of annoyed people might have sent off a comment towards him.

    It STUNS me that this happens in Canada. Late night TV, facebook members ... This NEEDS to become an embarrassment to the school administration so that future administrations shy away form trying to wield this kind of oppressive power.

    Take 'em to the cleaners Hamish!

    Further proof that we're all human:

    High school administrators in Canada have their heads crammed equally far in to their asses as high school administrators in America.

    ...and if anything, you Canucks can lay more claim to a national Scottish heritage than us.
