英国一所中学禁止女生穿裙子 称不够淑女

英国一家教会中学禁止女生穿裙子，称女生裙子太短，显得“不淑女”。该校也由此成为英国第一所禁止13岁以下女生穿裙子的学校。该校校长大卫•道特菲尔说，“有些高年级女学生开始穿超短裙，这种情况就很糟糕，尤其当她们坐在学校礼堂的时候，显得非常不淑女。我们会要求她们把裙子拉长点，但等我们一转身她们又把裙子卷上去了。”一些家长认为这个禁令很“疯狂”，并表示这会让小姑娘们对自己的身份很困惑。

A school is banning female students as young as nine from wearing skirts deeming them "unladylike" as they are too short.

Walkwood Church of England Middle School in Redditch is believed to be the first in England to stop pupils under the age of 13 from wearing skirts. Schoolgirls will be made to wear trousers instead after the situation became "difficult", according to the Birmingham Mail.

Headteacher David Doubtfire said some of the older pupils were "beginning to wear extremely short skirts".

"It was becoming difficult, especially when it came to them sitting down in the school hall," he explained. "It was very unladylike. We would ask them to make their skirts longer, but they would just roll them up again when we turned away."

The move has been branded "crazy" by some parents who feel the ban is going to "confuse" young girls.

"You hear so much about the over equalization of children these days but to call a nine-year-old girl unladylike is absurd," one parent told the Daily Telegraph. "They aren't ladies, they are young girls. And to stop them from wearing skirts is just going to confuse them.

"I've always been against skirt bans, but I understand there has to be a limit for teenagers as they are turning into young women. But not for girls as young as nine, that's just crazy."
