Cultural discrimination or a reasonable dress-code restriction?

Question

Questions at bottom.

TL;DR: A male bus driver of Scottish ancestry rented a kilt to wear to work on casual Friday, despite knowing kilts were off limits per casual Friday dress-code. He purposely challenged this dress-code restriction, claiming it was anti-Scottish discrimination and compared his kilt to “wearing a turban for religious reasons”. He was sent home to change and subsequently filed a discrimination claim.

Questions:
1. Do you think banning kilts on Casual Friday is a reasonable restriction, or do you consider this discriminatory?
2. Do you think the bus driver handled the situation well? (Purposely violating the dress code to make his point) 
3. Do you think cultural discrimination and religious discrimination are equally wrong? Should cultural practices/attire have the same legal protections as religious practices/attire?

Accepted Answer

I think it is discriminating. There’s nothing about a kilt that’s inappropriate. I think it’s that logic that it’s a “man in a skirt” and even then, that’s discrimination.

Answer

Nothing I love to see more than a fellow Scot scamming

Answer

What the heck is wrong with kilts? What a stupid rule.

Answer

Are skirts also banned? If not then it's discrimination

Answer

Kilts are worn without underwear and that is where the problem could be. But, yes I do agree that this is a discrimination.

Answer

It sounds like discrimination to me.

Answer

This is absolutely cultural discrimination.

Answer

I dont know anyone who wears underwear under a kilt. Thats probably the problem. If its the dress code.... its the dress code. Find something else to be mad at.

Answer

I don’t think people who wear clothing for everyday religious reasons are the same as his rental kilt.. without knowing him, it sounds like he just wanted to rebel or has an actual issue with religious apparel and is staging this to poorly make some kind of point

Answer

Only thing I'm mad about is that hes not proud enough to BUY a kilt like a REAL Scotsman. Maybe you would have won the case if it wasn't a rental 🤷🏻‍♀️
