Headteacher to say sorry for 'cross-dressing' comment to kilted pupil
Nate Taggart, spokesman for Weber School District in Utah, said Craig Jessop has been asked to extend an apology to Gavin McFarland, 14, from Hooper, after the school official's comments last week.
One of the objections was that by wearing a kilt, the boy could be mistaken for a cross-dresser.

Mr Jessop told the boy that the outfit could be misconstrued as cross-dressing. Mr Taggart said the district recognises the kilt as an expression of the boy's Scottish heritage and that it was not inappropriate.
