Oooooh dear ...

Apparently, an American school principal told a lad to go home and change because his kilt could be misconstrued as crossdressing.

A local news source on the story includes this helpful line:
Kilts are traditional Scottish apparel, generally worn by men, often for formal or special occasions.
and some interesting comments.

But this source has the best picture editor ...

Dear bubba, that last link could stand as a birthday present to you! Have a very happy one, eynhashofet , you deserve it!

And silenceofcedars , I hope that the cake and good wishes fairy has rolled up to your house a little pleasantly tipsy and settled in for the duration.

Jeez, what a mess. As if any student in that school didn't know what a kilt was. I'm sure by age 14 that most of them have seen Braveheart!

One of my best friends in high school wore a kilt to prom, and then mentioned it in his election speech for student council. I'm pretty sure that was the deciding factor for his win. :)

I'd have voted for him!
