This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament

Rejected petition Stop schools banning skirts because of male teachers.

So I have started this petition in the hope that we all can fight together for female students to still be allowed to wear skirts without fear of becoming the victims of predatory teachers, and bullying into subjection by the institutional sexism in schools.

More details

My belief (and the laws views) are that any teacher who thinks looking at a pupil (of any gender) inappropriately is breaching a position of trust, and should not be working around minors at all. Any male teachers who do look at or touch minors inappropriately,are classed as peadophiles, and should be dealt with in accordance with the law.
What the schools are doing, is promoting a “peadophile culture”, and “normalising” that kind of behaviour.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Schools are responsible for setting uniform policies, rather than the Government or Parliament. If you are concerned about the conduct of teachers in a school, you might want to contact the member of staff who leads on safeguarding in the school.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
