From here:
Boys should be able to wear skirts to school because uniforms ‘should not discriminate’, a children’s adviser has claimed.
Tam Baillie, the Scottish parliament’s Commissioner for Children and Young People, has backed 13-year-old Luca Scarabello, who is fighting for a ban on ‘gender-specific uniforms’.
Mr Baillie said that Luca, a pupil at St Mungo’s High School in Falkirk, Stirlingshire, who lodged a petition with the Scottish Government in November, had ‘raised important rights issues’.
The public petitions committee (PPC) is considering Luca’s proposals.
In his response to the PPC, Mr Baillie claimed that forcing uniforms on children could cause ‘serious distress’ for those with gender variants.
The “serious distress” caused by not allowing boys to wear skirts won’t look so nearly so serious when compared to the distress that will come later from encouraging a mixed-up child to pretend he is a girl.
How many children are we prepared to sacrifice on the altar of gender equality political correctness?
All of this idiocy that arises from supposed “rights” reminds me of an article I read recently about Scientology, and the rampant nuttiness at play within that cult. When I read the latest comments above, I thought for a moment I must be back to the Scientology article.
I am also reminded that it really takes far less than you would imagine for a relatively intelligent, civil society to spin downwards into the vortex of mindlessness and loss of morality (look at today’s U.K.). You just have to have a few infected persons standing on a public platform and uttering nonsense as if it were an accepted truth, and there you go. It’s amazing how the infection then spreads.
I hope none of these join the military. However the ACoC always has a opening or two.
I see that badvestments.blogspot has purloined the image I worked on with such dedication.
I wonder if I should cite copyright infringement.
Being Scotland, what is wrong with the school in question adopting the kilt as its uniform?
Since girls also wear trousers what is the problem? They are not gender specific so why the objection. It has become a contest to see who can make much ado about nothing the fastest and in the meantime mess with malleable minds.
