UK: WOKE RULES Fury as school says boys can wear skirts but not shorts in hot weather

[blackcab]

PARENTS have slammed a new school rule saying boys can wear skirts but not shorts in hot weather. They say the woke attempt at a “gender neutral dress code” is “insane and discriminatory”.

 

Many mums and dads had wanted a summer uniform introduced at Wymondham High Academy in Norfolk.

 

And head Jonathan Rockey wrote on the state school’s website: “All pupils will have the choice to wear either a grey school skirt or grey school trousers (existing style).”

It reads to me like the school has simply restated what the exiting two uniform options are and will allow pupils can choose which option they want.

 

More faux outrage brought to you by The Sun.

[Credo]

What's next, allowing kilts?????

[MRToMRT]

All crapola and out of context, made up by the Sun.

Well you know what the Scottish ladies say.

If you put your hand up a Scotsmen's Kilt

and you feel a quarter pounder.

that will be McDonald.

Too funny. The horror of days gone by when in my elementary school days in the USA the boys wore long pants and girls wore dresses. Final.

[LarrySR]

What's the opposite of woke?

Deplorable.

There is nothing sensible in this Sun report at all, it’s mischaracterized nonsense.

I don’t suppose you did ‘Active Shooter Drills’ either.

Ah yes.

The good old days, when one could bash a gay for fun and drive them to suicide. 

Sadly the “woke” want to preach tolerance and acceptance.

Seems like a stupid rule.

 

Irrespective of the Woke idiocy plaguing many areas of life, why not allow boys/girls to wear shorts? Why should a heterosexual boy be forced to wear a skirt in order to stay cool in a heat wave?

Heat wave, UK?

And there is no ‘Woke Idiocy’ unless you are referring worries about the little darlings getting a bit too warm in the last three weeks of the school year.

Heat wave? It barely cracks 20c degrees on a summer day there. 

 

The "story" is from THE SUN... looking to windup the snowflake readers.

Skirts are much cooler than shorts and they also do not pinch your privates. Here in Thailand men wear the Pakama (not sure of the spelling) or a sarong. I wear them all the time and think they are great.

[Bkk Brian]

I really don't see any story here, it was voted by the parents themselves in a parental survey the school did.

 

"The overwhelming majority of respondents stated that they would prefer to retain a traditional uniform, with blazers"

 

The overwhelming majority of respondents felt either that a gender-neutral uniform would either be appropriate, or they had no preference • The overwhelming majority of respondents stated that they would prefer to retain a traditional uniform, with blazers, and that they would wish to retain the school colours [black/grey/blue] • The majority of respondents stated that either they agreed with all pupils wearing a tie, or that they had no preference • A summer uniform should be considered, and that blazers should be optional in the summer term There were a number of very clear views on specific parts of the consultation: • A strong feeling that a more informal uniform (polo shirts) was not wanted

Sorry your life has been so horrendous. My time in the US boys were boys and girls were girls. No one commented on gays all the way through high school. My navy days, yes I served my country, no one spoke much about gays. There was one cook who tried touching another's wee wee and got smacked up. 3 1/2 yrs aboard ship and we had one incident with a crew of 1200. Funny how this new generation of "woke" doesn't fit in.

We do know that many in the Navy were gay because we know they are now. So, either they weren't accepted or it was a case of don't tell. Your anecdotes of a golden era of gay free life in the navy only demonstrates the need to woke culture.

Your mates were comforting each other all the time, all over that vessel.

There were as many gay people around in your school and on your ship as there are now.

 

It’s just they don’t have to hide any more.

 

Spend less time worrying about how other people live their own life.

The 70's USNavy was far better. No women aboard ship to cause conflict, if you were gay they kept it to themselves and enjoyed themselves off the ship.

A school in Devon, UK mandates the wearing of trousers for all.

The thread isn’t about the joys of being aboard ship with only men.

The outrage and anger is constantly bubbling under the surface.

[OneMoreFarang]

I like news like this. Please more of it!

The reason: because it shows how ridiculous those woke idiots are.

In the moment too many people are just to nice to tell the woke idiots that they are idiots. With rules and news about those rules like above it gets more difficult to try to stay neutral. Good!

Stand up and show the woke idiots that they should crawl back under whatever stone they came from. Get lost!

But luckily there is a big area between woke deplorable. They used to call it "normal".

Being "woke" isn't a political thing despite the rights desire to characterise it as such. It's about education, critical thinking and empathy. Those aren't political.
