Loading ...British School Forces Boys To Wear “Gender-Neutral” Skirts Instead Of Shorts
A private secondary school in Oxfordshire, England is banning its male students from wearing shorts during the summer months, and is instead requesting that they wear a more “gender neutral” ensemble that includes that staple of men’s athletic wear: The skirt.
According to the Daily Mail, Chiltern Edge Secondary School’s rule change comes after an unfavorable ruling by a government agency tasked with overseeing educational standards.
School leaders said the skirts were a “more formal” alternative to shorts, regardless of how uncomfortable they might make male students at the school.
Unsurprisingly, parents are complaining about the bizarre school dress code, which is part of a larger trend of schools adopting “gender neutral” uniforms to make transgender students feel more at home.
