Allowed children to wear smart black trainers to school

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Hi,

As a school child I feel sometimes feel discriminated against for simply wearing black ‘trainers’ to school . I feel this need to change as it is simply pointless that a young well behaved child is getting in trouble for ‘apparently’ breaking school rules
Furthermore this isn’t effecting our education and is making children come to school worried about getting punished just for a the shoes on there feet

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is a decision for your school and not UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking to ban school uniform if that's something you'd like to see happen.
