The Grinch Principal


Being of Scottish ancestry, this one hits close to home.

From Fox News-"Nathan Warmack wanted to honor his heritage by wearing a Scottish kilt to his high school dance. Then a principal told him to change into a pair of pants."

WTF!!!!!

The principal also allegedly went on to say:"Well, this is my dance, and I'm not going to have students coming into it looking like clowns."

Look Mr. Principal. If the guy had come in wearing a friggin' sequined gown, then maybe, since it's not a drag queen gala, you could have said something. But the Kilt is a traditional part of Scots wardrobe. And he was honoring his ancestry.

"To say the traditional Scottish dress makes you look like a clown is a direct insult to people of Scottish heritage and those who live in Scotland," said Tom Wilson, a Texas commissioner for the Clan Gunn Society of North America, a Scottish heritage organization.

Now, we know of course had this young man shown up wearing a yarmulke or a turban, he'd have been cool, no problemo, eh?

Two huge lumps of Coal for Principal McClard of Jackson,MO.
