Ban skirts for school uniform

Closed 34 signatures

What the petition asks

If school uniforms were unisex, I think it would alleviate a significant amount of pressure on parents, teachers, and the students themselves.
I think young girls can feel under pressure to have their skirts at a certain length. The issue with skirt length creates a sense of exclusion for some children, leading them to imitate their peers in an attempt to fit in. Banning skirts for school uniform would avoid this.
