A ban on girls wearing socks with their school skirts at two Salford schools has sparked a debate about dress codes and gender equality.
A decision to ban girls from wearing socks with their school skirts has sparked a furious debate. The change is being introduced at both Moorside High School in Swinton and Ellesmere Park High School in Eccles, both in Salford and run by the Consilium Academies trust. Parents say it's part of the trust's 'clamp down' on girls wearing short skirts and is basically 'telling girls they need to cover their bare legs because males can't control themselves'.
The trust has stopped short of mentioning the length of skirts in its letter to parents and has instead focused on pupils needing to adhere to 'a professional dress code' that 'prepares them for future professional settings where appearance plays a role'. Hundreds of readers have responded to the story on the MEN's Facebook page and it's clear that opinion on the issue is divided. Some say 'just wear the correct uniform' and 'rules are rules', while others criticize the policy as 'unfair, discriminatory, and completely out of touch'
