Earlier this year, Co-op Academies Trust introduced a trousers-only policy from September. However, some parents are refusing to accept the change. Several pupils arrived at Co-op Academy Failsworth for the new academic year wearing skirts

Walking behind some school girls and seeing their ass, trousers seems a very sensible option!

First women were forced to wear skirts and now they’re being forced out of them lol.. I think a more common sense approach would be to not make it as gendered but have like a standard pants option or skorts/ a reasonable length short, but no rules about who can wear which ones. That way trans or nonbinary people can oscillate between those choices without outing themselves or experienced as much dysphoria and also you can not be forcibly heat trapped in some damn trousers in the warmer months

Policing kids clothing at school is weird and rooted in rape culture

I think its probably a roundabout way to avoid spending time and effort enforcing the skirt length policy. I remember when I was a teenager girls would roll up their skirts incredibly short and inevitably get into arguments with teachers. I dont think short skirts are necessarily bad, it's about time and place, but school is to prepare them for employment and most workplaces/employers wouldn't see that as appropriate

these policies are always targeted towards girls. Teaching girls that their bodies are distracting to boys and so they have to cover up their shoulders and knees, ect.

They sexualize girls bodies and teach everyone that boys cannot control themselves. That what they wear dictates how the boys will act and what they will do. Making it all the girls fault.

Rape culture.

It's a good rule some girls were skirts I can see too much when I'm driving past them , there's lots of pervs out there we don't want them looking at our kids .
