Nantes education authorities have launched a 'Lift the Skirt' campaign to support gender equality. Under the campaign, male students and teachers of 27 public schools are invited to wear skirts on May 16, sparking controversy in the western French city.
The idea to swap trousers for skirts in a stand against sexism originated from pupils themselves, and was sanctioned by the city's school authorities and therefore by the Ministry of Education, the Local reported.
Those who prefer not to bare their legs have the option of wearing a sticker which says, “I am fighting against sexism, are you?”
Although the campaign was staged in 20 schools last year, the anti-sexism initiative has caused a stir on social media and among local Nantes groups which are planning a protest on 'Lift the Skirt,' or 'Ce que soulève la jupe' day.
French political activist Frigide Barjot, known for her stance against same-sex marriage and LGBT adoption, shared the campaign's press release on twitter and asked the country's minister for education, Benoit Hamon, if girls should be wearing beards. “We’ll do any old nonsense in the name of equality,” Olivier Vial, president of the conservative UNI party, said. “This move is inspired by the Day of the Skirt, whose original aim was to allow women to express their femininity in environments where it was often difficult. But this is just denying feminine and masculine identity.”
The news comes just days after Thomas Neuwirth, a singer from Austria, won the Eurovision song contest while performing as bearded drag queen Conchita Wurst.

You may not know it, but France’s revolution was the heart and soul of leftism and what each side wore (and where they sat in parliament) denoted their political stance. Suggesting boys wear skirts is an expression of the Left’s anarchy (sans Culottes) which resulted in the deaths by guillotine of thousands which effectively silenced conservative thought in France. That’s the same ideology which brought Lenin into Russia on a train paid for by Germany - and it was Lenin’s writings which were translated by an American named Cantor who brought his work to Chicago in the 30’s which inspired people like Paul Robeson and Frank Marshall Davis.
You want the discussion to remain on topic? You think it’s about nothing but boys wearing skirts? It’s a whole lot more. It encompasses how homosexuality is being stuffed down your throats and how Stalin got the idea that the way to wield power is through terror - and you’re almost halfway there in the US. Your government is becoming as unaccountable as Stalin’s USSR.
It’s history repeating. Seems you fought a war of independence and civil war only to be on the verge of destruction by the same forces which start out by only dictating what little boys should wear to school in France and end up with Austrian bearded transsexuals winning song contests - and the inexplicable existence of what look suspiciously like internment camps in out-of-the-way places in the US...for those who refuse to stay on topic?
I think it does.
You’re right. It’s not “merely” about homosexual perversion indoctrination. Anarchy, destruction of the family, of natural law, of class hatred, of de-humanizing the “others” and so on.

I would suggest you watch Aldous Huxley’s, Brave New World. While watching this film ask yourself what you would need to do to create that world and consider the steps taken to achieve this goal.
Cultu ral Marxism serves their purpose of breaking up cultural norms and to soften us up for this technocratic distopian nightmare.
This is a big subject, I could probably put it in a better more succinct way but I am awfully tired. If you are interested in these topics you will be able to discover more eloquent people than me to to explain it.
I fear I am not eloquent enough either, but at least I was prepared to start the conversation...but history isn’t encouraged here apparently. It’s all a giant conspiracy and it frightens the sheep.
I’ve posted before that the word “conspiracy” does NOT mean “paranoid fantasy”.
It means more than one person planning to commit crimes. It’s a legal term, and that’s what it means. Right now, there are many people planning to, and committing, crimes against the population of the US and of course other places as well. They are conspiring together, to commit crimes.
Fact. Not paranoid fantasy.
The comments section where? from the article at the top?
Yes, from the comments section beneath the actual article.
Wasn’t she amazing? I remember that night. She was sensational.
The Greatest Fraud of all time. Greater than when Lenin usurped power in Russia, whilst the Russian people slept.
Not just an incredible voice, but a humble girl. Humility and modesty are virtues that nowadays are considered practically character flaws.
Another character flaw appears to be a knowledge of history and geography...and if you’ve read a book or two, you are in real trouble. /s
The French Revolution is still seen by many as a triumph of democracy...it was a bloodbath and nothing more.
Yeah - leave your nutcase conspiracy theories where they belong.
Really? Some people see it as a triumph of democracy? That’s amazing.
The posted article is about cultural Marxism. It has nothing to do with equality and boys wearing skirts. And Marxism is what drove Lenin. It’s Marxism-Leninism that was brought back from the USSR to Chicago in the 1930’s, espoused by such luminaries as Paul Robeson who influenced the communist Frank Marshall Davis to move to Hawaii and which ultimately found it’s way into the White House.
You call that a nut-case conspiracy? It’s historical fact. You want a debate, or just want to silence me?
Take a guess.
Yet you allow Fogbow trolls crawl all over FR.
You just banned one of the best members FR ever had.
I guess the truth is unwelcome here.
Nobody was banned.
And you might want to get your facts straight as well.
Says banned or suspended, maybe suspended then.
