Must be a blow to male transgender students who were keen on going to school in a mini skirt.

Exactly. While we will always get the odd grandstanding degenerate who thinks it's fine to touch up teenage girls, the threat of pedogeddon is surely vastly overstated. Let them wear their bloody school unforms and get on with their education. Is that really too much to ask? We can't let every aspect of society be dictated to by the spectre of some kind of dark reality that rarely comes to pass anyway.

If the thinking behind it is political in nature....then I agree with you.

Hell I agree if that's what the majority of parents want anyway.....I have absolutely zero problems with a strict uniform code and I have absolutely zero problems with a 'wear what you want' school....there is room for both.

I see the benefit of a uniform in terms of promoting an ordered dress and attitude....but to be honest It comes down to what works for that area. It's all about what the school sees itself as.

As long as its clear to parents and to be fair to them it should come with a long lead in time.

Dollar made a good point about uniform cost.

It's worked for hundreds of years successfully, why bow down to a minority?

Yes, that makes sense, and the school even made this point on a news piece I saw, but with the cost of this uniform coming in at £111.90, their argument falls down. Often nowadays schools restrict where you can buy the uniform from, so it can be as much a money making exercise as anything. This cost year on year across secondary education alone can build to a mind boggling total, especially if you have 2 or 3 kids.

Is there nothing that the renowned hardcore left Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue service will stop at. Next it'll be attending antifa marches over saving lives.
