He’d be put in isolation? Like one of those sweat boxed the North Vietnamese put POWs in?

I don’t care if the scots wear kilts.
Its still a skirt. Its a skirt. No thanky.
And its time to threaten this school with a lawsuit.

How about inventing ‘skorts’ - half skirt and half shorts?
Not sure what exactly it would look like, but the teachers would not be able to ban you.
It could become fashion sensation!

I went to college in the 1970s. Toga parties were very common.

I was going to post something similar - get him a kilt along with all the accessories.
Reminds of an old joke - A Scot was asked what is worn under a kilt. His answer, “Nothing is worn everything works perfectly”.

Men in kilts are cool, so long as they have muscular legs. I’ve marched behind several groups of bagpipers in my day when I won a regional beauty pageant and they always looked impressive.

It seems to me if girls can show their legs (as long as the skirt is the approved length) then boys should be allowed to show their legs in shorts of appropriate length and tailoring.
