London private school may let boys wear skirts

Post by Daryl »

"Boys could be allowed to wear skirts at a north London private school if a plan for gender neutral uniforms comes in."

Hey Skirt Cafe members in the centre of the Empire! Go right over there and tell them what a good idea this is...and do it in your most conservative skirts.

I fear that if this fails it will be because of some unstated bias like "boys will be indecent about it". They have another route to gender neutrality, which is just to force all students to wear only pants. And we've seen this happen. When schools here have gotten rid of the too-sexy kilt uniforms they did it by putting girls in trousers.

I'm expecting their solution will be to simply allow boys to wear shorts, but I'm hoping otherwise.
