Sheesh!

Scottish Americans are outraged this morning with a story of a Utah principal who told Gavin McFarland, 14, that his wearing a kilt at a high school was inappropriate and might constitute “cross dressing.” The result has been a scene out of Braveheart: The Battle for Rocky Mountain Junior High where principal Craig Jessop has replaced Longshanks as the freedom-crushing tyrant. Just wait until Jessop learns that the Scottish call to arms is Alba gu bra!

McFarland was wearing his kilt as part of an art project but he comes from a proud Scottish family. Jessop has been told by the school district to apologize but, once on the march, Scots are a fierce people.

Forget the defense of the kilt as being masculine attire. Why can’t guys wear skirts if they want? WTF? Clothing that is appropriate for school is appropriate for either sex. “Cross dressing” should be banned? Then the girls are going to have to give up pants, folks. This is a no-brainer should it get into a court of law, Jessop. How did you get your credentials to be a principal? Don't you have to have some higher education for that?


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
