These teenage boys are social activists in the making.

Even though the schoolboys of Exeter's ISCA Academy were suffering from the summer heat, they still were banned from wearing shorts because of the traditional dress code.

To protest the stuffy school rules, however, 30 male students attended class collectively wearing the tartan skirts issued to the female students.

Though school officials were reportedly quite stumped as to how initially to handle the situation, none of the boys were punished. Additionally, the school said that 'starting next year' male students would be allowed to wear shorts 'as summers are becoming hotter'.

Though the modified dress code won't go into full effect until 2018 because it 'would put undue pressure on some of our families, students will be able to discard their blazers and jumpers.

Students will also be allowed to ditch their ties, undo the first button of their school top, and untuck the shirts if they are feeling overheated.

How would you feel if your son was one of these boys? Proud of his smarts or angry at the school? Or worried about him wearing skirts?

I would hate the school, and be super proud of my son.

That said, I would never send my children to a school like this in the first place.

It was the related link in the middle of the story that Unfair originally forgot to remove before be posted this.

sexual discrimination clothing.

Women can wear items that are loose and comfortable in hot weather.
Men? Not so much. I think it's ridiculous how people place so much emphasis on what people should or shouldn't wear purely based on out dated notions.
Androgyny should be a two way street imo.

Heh.

I would write it off as kids being pissy tbh but my mind would be changed when it actually worked.

I guess sometimes being pissy can actually accomplish things. Not that I would make a habit of it.

I agree with you, but this shit can go the other way.

In my last two years of high school, the dress code changed so that girls couldn't wear leggings with their skirts during winter. They could only wear long pants for PE, and for the rest of the school day they had to wear a knee-high skirt and thin stockings or they could be written up.

It's Australia, so winters back then were like -2 degrees C at the worst during the day. Still, it was kind of a bullshit move when the previous four years allowed leggings and long pants for girls during winter. They just took that away because I guess it didn't fit the school's aesthetic.

Dress codes that force kids into unseasonable clothes are dogshit.

Which they're mocked if not muscular/fit

And tons of businesses won't allow them in/serve them if they're shirtless, while women still are served while wearing said loose clothing.

My son would not be leaving the house in a skirt. If he did it without my permission we'd figure out a punishment.

Anyways it's kind of funny how this is acceptable today. If kids had done this when I was in middle school there would have been merciless bullying and probably violence involved. The world it is changing.

No bully has the balls to bully 30 people at once.
