The principal's name is McClard. Ironic, isn't it.

That's just the beginning of it.

In 1993, a student in Fayette County, Georgia, was not allowed to enter his prom at McIntosh High School because he showed up in a kilt and refused to change clothes.

When I was in high school, there was a bit of rebellion because boys were required to wear pants that reached their ankles, without any holes or tears (this was the '80s, when ripped jeans were popular). Girls, on the other hand, were allowed to wear skirts of any decent length.

This was in Atlanta, school began in August, and the air conditioning was feeble on its best day. It was 90+ in the classrooms many days, and some of us took exception to rules that allowed the girls but not the boys to wear comfortable attire. Some of the boys more daring than I wore skirts to school to protest and test the policy.

I don't think any of the protesters had enough wit to wear a kilt instead of a skirt, which would have given them a stronger case that it's traditional male attire.
