12-Year-Old Boy Wears Skirt to School to Protest Gender Discrimination

A 12-year-old boy from Impington, England, decided to protest a ban in his school’s dress code against boys wearing shorts – by exploiting a loophole in the code that allowed him to wear a skirt.

Chris believes that forcing boys to wear long trousers during the sizzling summer months affects concentration and their ability to learn.

He said: ”In the summer girl students are allowed to wear skirts but boys are not allowed to wear shorts.

”We think that this discriminates against boys. […] ”I will be wearing the skirt at school all day in protest at the uniform policy and addressing the assembly with the student council, wearing a skirt.”

Good on Chris for gaming the system, I say. Here he is, in all his skirt-y glory:
