What the petition asks
Allow boys in highschools to wear shorts if it is above 22 degrees celcius.
They should do it because girls can wear skirts at british highschools and boys have to wear trousers , a blazer , a shirt and a tie. Boys have a higher chance at heatstroke and black clothing absorbs more heat. So thats why shorts should be allowed in highschools in the UK.
