Skirts for boys at private Highgate School under plans for gender-neutral uniform

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.

At what point do fathers get outraged enough to say "no, you will not treat our sons like this"?

I mean, think about it. Fathers did nothing while the schools allowed girls to hit their sons or even kick them in the nuts for no reason, and wouldn't even allow their sons to protect themselves or even treat it as a crime.

Fathers did nothing while their sons were punished for their presumed privilege with girl only grants and benefits that were denied them, while simultaneously being required to register for the draft to defend the morons who are excluding them.

How badly do boys have to be treated before fathers unite and say "enough".

Did the last version have Germany invaded by millions of Third World rapists while welcoming them with open arms?

Thought not.

You ask questions and then answer them by yourself. That’s lonely. I seem to recall Germany being quite happy to have Muslims as allies in World War II. I actually think Hitler spoke quite highly of Muslims

>>Learning to say no to idiot authority is becoming a valuable skill.

How "conservative { uhh } but progressive!" Idiots in Authority deal with the learned who say "no", or, the horror, use words like "salvage" regarding the craftsmanship of the Idiots....

PIP seems to have become a popular tool to the new generation middle managers for the purpose of a “homogeneous team”. That is, PIP has become an acceptable and common practice to get rid of the “black horse” employee that is typically high-skilled and highly productive, thus at odds with a team of mostly mediocre members (including the manager) and hard to terminate based on pure work performance.

I missed the part where the Nazis brought in a couple of million and let them run wild raping their women.
