A Scottish school has urged pupils to come in skirts in a bid for equality<

Scottish school urges pupils to wear skirts as part of equality

"We are delighted to send the message that clothing is genderless and that we should enjoy the freedom to express ourselves as we wish," explained the Scottish school school its unconventional challenge in an e-mail. In the instructions, she stated that she also thinks about the comfort of children, so they don't have to walk in a skirt with bare feet.

"It is permissible to wear trousers or leggings under the skirt," reassured the school management and promised that students who do not have a skirt at home will be able to borrow it at school. The negative response of some was not long in coming.

“If a boy wants to wear a skirt to school, he should be allowed to. But why pressure someone to wear a skirt, otherwise they will be considered intolerant?" wondered the mother of one of the pupils on Twitter. Another angered that children are being abused for similar gestures. "My son is five and this just came from school...let kids be kids," she wrote.

Following criticism from parents and inquiries from British journalists, the school defended itself by saying that the 6th graders came up with the idea when they heard about the initiative in Spain. In addition, skirts were not mandatory.
