School claims to have "gender neutral policy"....then bans boys from wearing shorts in Summer-tells them to wear SKIRTS instead. The war on masculinity continues.

I'd wear the skirt with nothing underneath. If anyone gets a glimpse and complained I'd say why can't you teach your girls not too objectify and shame boys for their apparel choices?

By the way, the headteacher is a woman. What a surprise.

Temperatures in the area forecast to be above 26 Celsius/79 Faranheit this week, and it's not the hottest months yet.

What about kilts? I would wear one of these... and then get called out for appropriating Scottish culture.

“In September 2017, with the support of parents, Chiltern Edge made the decision to move to a more formal uniform. This has been a success.”

What the hell does “success” even mean in this context?

it's the UK. just say you're Muslim and Islam allows shorts. the cops will be there in 30 seconds without you calling them to arrest the teacher for a hate crime

I’d just wear a skirt to be honest.

Danphil90 · 2018-06-05T06:20:11+00:00

This is complete bullshit and feminization of boys, we need to complain to the government about this, i really don't understand why people just sit by and let stuff like this happen, im English and totally ashamed of this country now. We need a REVOLUTION

This isn't even sexist, it's just dumb.

Except they aren't saying that. They're adopting a new, stricter dress code that bans shorts. However, since it is gender neutral they can't ban boys from wearing skirts. They're not encouraging it.

Wow when a man wheres it, its a kilt

HovisTMM · 2018-06-05T07:45:22+00:00

If they wanted a gender neutral policy then surely banning skirts and allowing shorts makes way more sense?

shaggy99 · 2018-06-05T03:59:09+00:00

I hope the boys do wear skirts, they will find out how comfortable they are.

Your own fault for sending your kids to schools that force them to wear specific clothing. There's nothing wrong with a t-shirt and shorts or jeans, unless you're a stuck-up old puritan or think that lowering your child's status and robbing him of his freedom to appease to poor people that can't be bothered to wash their clothes and take a shower is ok.

If you live in an area that homes people who can't afford to dress their children, you're in much bigger trouble than kids getting bullied because of that. I'd never force my kids to wear some victorian-era outfit because old grey admin people think that's fancy. If you're in school all day, you want to wear normal clothes and feel comfortable.

I absolutely don't understand the logic. Whats wrong with a respectable pair of cargo shorts?
