A primary school is asking its male students to wear skirts to class as part of its educational campaign to promote equality.

An email was issued to parents from Castleview Primary in Edinburgh where it said officials want the school to be more inclusive. Additionally, parents were told that the boys, as young as 3, could wear leggings or pants underneath their skirts for comfort throughout the school day. However, it is not mandatory for students to participate in the activity.
‘We’re keen to spread the message that clothes don’t have a gender and that we should all be free to express ourselves as we choose.’
The concept was created by sixth-grade students after learning that a similar idea was created at a school in Spain after students and teachers wore skirts to support a male student who was expelled for wearing one last year.

Some parents at the school opposed the idea and said children should be able to make decisions on their own. Other parents also supported the school’s effort to enforce equality.
