Skirts for boys at private Highgate School under plans for gender-neutral uniform
telegraph ^ | May 14, 2017 | Olivia Rudgard

A north London private school has drawn up plans to introduce gender-neutral uniforms in response to a growing number of pupils questioning their gender identity.

Highgate school currently has an option for girls to wear a grey pleated skirt, but the school is consulting on a mix-and-match uniform policy which will not specify a different requirement for boys and girls.

Girls can currently wear grey trousers or skirts as well as the dark blue jackets and ties which make up the rest of the uniform. Boys may not wear a skirt and also have to wait until they are 16 to wear earrings.

Adam Pettitt, headmaster at the school, told the Sunday Times: "This generation is really questioning [if we are] being binary in the way we look at things."

He said some former pupils had complained about the changes. "They write in and say if you left children to their own devices they would grow up differently and you are promoting the wrong ideas," he said.

Some parents did not know that their children were questioning their gender identity, he added, forcing the school to mediate between parents and pupils.

Germany has a resurgent economy and is the powerhouse of W. Europe.

France and England are busy dilly dallying with absurd sidetracks.

Where have I seen this movie before?

Want to remind FReepers at this point that I don’t make the news I just post it.

Please refrain from shooting the messenger as it’s not my fault they’ve lost their bloom’in minds.

Boys wearing skirts.

Now, what kinds of problems could that create?

The imaginations of teen boys — in skirts.

Makes for easier access from the queer teachers looking for more boys to add to their ranks.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Children are questioning their gender? WHAT HOGWASH. This liberal fool teacher wants to intervene. When I grew up in the 40’s-60 or so I did not know one queer period. We had 1,000 in my high school graduating class. This was no small area.

It is said that in pre-WWII France, mothers were teaching their sons how to dance, while in pre-war Germany, fathers were teaching their sons how to shoot. It took Germany six weeks to defeat France.

Hey Morgana, I know you are posting because it is ridiculous. It is surely crazy. I would yank my children out of this school ASAP and demand my money back or get it in a pound of flesh.

I’m posting this because they are trying to mess with our kids minds! This is a private school no less. How much money do these parents pay for this sh!t? Parents and alumnus of this school need to go down and bust some heads. Crazy man crazy.
