Nathan Warmack wanted to honor his Scottish heritage by wearing a Scottish kilt to his high school dance. His Principal had other ideas and told him to put on a pair of pants.The formal clothing has sparked an international debate about freedom, symbols and cultural dress. More than 1,600 people have signed an Internet petition seeking an apology for the high school senior.Scots in the United States are assembling a traditional ensemble they hope the student will wear to the prom, and his family is trying to change the school's dress-code policy.
Warmack, a defensive lineman on the football team, says, "It's a kilt. It's going to turn heads, but I never believed it would have become what it is."
