Skirt those rules! Story out of Rottingdean, England:
A group of schoolboys were forbidden from wearing shorts in lessons – so, during last week’s heatwave, they took to coming to school in skirts instead.
Longhill High School in Rottingdean, close to Brighton, punished a number of boys earlier in the week for wearing shorts, which staff said were not an approved part of school uniform.
The following day four Year 9 students, Michael Parker, Kodi Ailing, George Boyland and Jesse Stringer decided to stand up against the ban by wearing girls’ school skirts.
Michael’s mother Angela Parker said: “We’re fully in support of them. I think what the headmistress is doing is discrimination and I’m extremely proud of Michael and his fellow protesters. It’s taken a heck of a lot for teenage boys to go to school wearing skirts.”
The boys were permitted to keep the skirts on on Thursday and Friday without punishment. Miss Williams said: “Students can choose to wear any part of the agreed school uniform.” Cont.
