-Caveat Lector- >THE PROBLEM OF NATIONALITIES IN USA: STUDENT FACES EXPULSION FROM COLLEGE >FOR WEARING SCOTTISH ATTIRE > >American student Jeremy His is facing expulsion from college. This kid was on the CBS morning show yesterday (along with his attorney); he is not in college, he's a junior in highschool, and he wore the outfit to a school dance. He has a 3.75 average and was planning on attending Harvard when he graduated . If he is expelled from school, he'll attend a private school (according to what he said on this show), but the expulsion will probably adversely affect his chances of getting into Harvard. >His "guilt" is >that one day he turned up in a school discotheque wearing wearing a >traditional Scottish attire, indispensable detail of which was a knife, or >"sgian-dhu." They showed this item on the show, and 'traditional' or not, it looks like it can do quite a bit of damage if used as a weapon. Mr. Hix knew the rules -- he admitted to it on the show. There was no reason to wear this knife, which he showed was worn in a sheath inside his sock, in other words it was a concealed weapon. He could have foregone wearing this item and no one would have known, since it was worn CONCEALED. Either this kid was unbelievable stupid, or he deliberately wanted to provoke something...he knew about the zero-tolerance policy and deliberately chose to break it, when complying would not have adversely affected his costume in the least, since the knife could not normally be seen. Which brings up the 2nd point...choosing to deliberately flaunt the zero-tolerance policy, Mr. Hix then did not leave well enough alone, and must have taken the knife out for some reason at the dance, because it could not otherwise be seen. This kid was wearing his full regalia on this show, and was sitting facing the camera, full body in view, with his legs crossed....and until he pulled the knife out from his kneesock, you couldn't see it there. So the fact that someone found out that he had this knife at the school dance shows that Mr. Hix had to have removed it from his kneesock at some point during the dance... >He said he had the sgian-dhu tucked >into his sock for nearly two hours before a chaperone at the prom noticed >it. You couldn't see it yesterday when Mr. Hix was sitting facing the camera, with his leg crossed over the leg with the knife tucked in the sock...not even a bulge in the sock. So one has to wonder just what Mr. Hix did to garner attention from the chaperone... >It is strange that such a multinational and tolerant, as it seems, country >as the USA does not permit its citizens to wear their national regalia. Not when the 'national regalia' includes a dangerous weapon. I'm far from being a liberal, but I think weapons that are clearly weapons have no place at a school function...
