Change the school dress codes in the UK

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Encourage schools to let their students express themselves more and still feel safe. Encourage schools to ease their uniform rules to let students be more free with their identity. Teach in schools that boys should respect women regardless of what they wear instead of telling women to cover up
To let students have freedom of identity and express themselves. Schools should celebrate differences instead of saying that they can only respect students if they are all the same. The first steps to this could be to allow students to dye their hair, wear jewelry and wear makeup.
