Exactly

I wore a tux to my prom. That was exciting.

If you want to wear a kilt, or anything else in a tasteful, non-offensive, nonthreatening (i.e. not dressed as Hitler) manner, feel free.

However, it should be noted that dances, at least at my high school, were open to those who purchased tickets, and consequently, would/should be subject to the rules that are placed upon the purchaser. Just because it is being held at a public school or thrown by a school club or whatever doesn't mean that those other people who bought tickets have to accept inappropriate and/or lewd dress, and it is up to those who issued the tickets to establish this code of conduct/whatever you wish to call it. They are subject to the rules that come with buying the ticket(s).

I think it is fine that he wore a kilt. As long as he isn't in fishnets, singing showtunes, etc...

The fact that you have to purchase tickets makes it a different story.

Technically, I'd say that makes it, in effect, a "private" event rather than a public one, and by purchasing a ticket you're entering into a contract with the seller and obligated to abide by his rules.

If you don't want to, then no one is forcing you to buy a ticket in the first place.

If attendance were mandatory, though, that's a different story.

Right, and that's my point. Like I said, ALL of my dances required you to purchase a ticket, and were only open to those who purchased a ticket (excluding students who worked the event as musicians/etc). I suspect that this is the norm for most schools.

However, I don't see how this young man could be kicked out simply for wearing a kilt...which is neither inappropriate nor offensive, if worn properly (i.e. not exposing your genitals ala the previous pictures).

Great photographs! Now you know why they call it "going commando."

Hey Irishman - I'm sure you knew I'd post to this one! (If you remember.....)

We have people around here who rent kilts for proms, homecomings, and other student events. I think it's perfectly fine to wear a kilt to school - as long as they wear something underneath!!

I'm sorry I don't remember
