TELEGRAPH - Chris Whitehead wore a girls' knee-length skirt to classes at Impington Village College, near Cambridge, Cambs. He is protesting against a school uniform policy which bans boys from wearing shorts during the summer months. He also addressed 1,368 pupils at morning assembly wearing the black skirt, which boys are permitted to wear due to a loophole in the policy. Chris believes that forcing boys to wear long trousers during the sizzling summer months affects concentration and their ability to learn. He said: ''In the summer girl students are allowed to wear skirts but boys are not allowed to wear shorts. ''We think that this discriminates against boys. I will march in a skirt with other boys waving banners and making a lot of noise. ''I will be wearing the skirt at school all day in protest at the uniform policy and addressing the assembly with the student council, wearing a skirt.'' ...Headteacher Robert Campbell said the ban on shorts was imposed following consultation with students, teachers and parents in 2009. He said: ''Our uniform policy had a significant consultation and ours is typical of most schools in Cambridgeshire and the consensus was we were going to go for that. ''The issue creeps up during the summer months. ''Ultimately the boys can wear a skirt to school because it doesn't say they can't in the uniform policy and we would be discriminating against them if we did not allow it... ''
Let me get this straight. Everyone can wear skirts but no one can wear shorts? This isn't England, it's fucking Scotland! Hey, Mr. "Headteacher," I got a new policy for ya - girls can wear skirts but boys can't and boys can wear shorts but girls can't. You're a private school so you get to make your own rules. This way you won't be graduating kids with gender identity issues for years to come. Because let me tell ya, if the boys can wear skirts to school, before long you're gonna have a bigger problem when a few of those snot-nosed idiots start forgettin' to wear anything underneath. There's gonna be some freaky shit happenin' at school and dress code descrimination will be the least of your problems. Bang. Done. My consulting fee is ten grand. You're welcome.
