A Win for the Kilts

From the AP, the Nathan Warmack saga is over. If you recall, Nathan had been told to change by his principal, Rick McLard when he showed up at a high school dance. I've blogged about this before here and here.

The long and short of it is that Nathan got an apology from the school and a pledge from the Superintendent to give more training to staff enforcing the dress code. With that, they'll be no legal action and he'll be able to wear the kilt to the prom.

I have to say that this has been quite an interesting case for a lot of reasons. The first is the amount attention it garnered. This type of thing has happened in the news before. Someone from the Utilikilts company pointed out that this happened a short four and a half years ago when a student wore a Black Utilikilt (not the same thing I know) to his prom and was put on in-school suspension for two days. From that to an apology is quite a turn around. You can expect more kids wearing kilts to their prom next year and in years to come, mark my words.
