Hoots mon, what does this say aboot the standard of education in the USA when a school principal does nae ken that wearing a kilt is nae crosss-dressing?
Weber School District spokesman Nate Taggart says Craig Jessop has been asked to extend an apology to 14-year-old student Gavin McFarland of Hooper after the school official’s comments Wednesday.
Gavin says he wore the kilt twice in the past two weeks to Rocky Mountain Junior High as a prop for an art project. Jessop told the boy that the outfit could be misconstrued as cross-dressing.
Taggart says the district recognises the kilt as an expression of the boy’s Scottish heritage and that the kilt was not inappropriate.
Och aye, gie’ me strength an’ pass stir that mon up with a spirtle spurtle.
