A grade school in Scotland asked male and female students and teachers to wear
skirts to class to “promote equality.” 

“We want our school to be inclusive and promote equality,” an email from
Castleview Primary in Edinburgh said to parents, the Daily Mail reported
Wednesday. Boys as young as 3-years-old were asked to participate, the outlet
noted. 

The email added that the school wants children to be “comfortable,” and leggings
or other pants could be worn under the skirts. Skirts will even be offered to
students who don’t have any in their possession, the Daily Mail reported. 

“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,” teachers wrote in a
message to parents, according to the outlet. 

The announcement follows protests in Spain last year after a teenage male
student reportedly wore a skirt to a school in the country, and was sent to a
psychologist over the matter and expelled from school. On Nov. 4 of last year,
male students and teachers in the county wore skirts to school in support of the
student, and the date is now known as “wear a skirt to school day.”

“Today is ‘wear a skirt to school day’ in Spain and this year Castleview Primary
in Edinburgh are encouraging staff and pupils to take part to ‘break down gender
stereotypes’ and ‘promote equality,’” BBC Scotland tweeted Thursday. P6 level
students at Castleview, the equivalent of fifth graders in the U.S., reportedly
came up with the idea after the Spain protests. 

Responses to the tweet ranged from criticisms of Castleview for celebrating
“wear a skirt to school day” to people supporting the day.

“Then castleview needs a new head teacher teachers are there to teach not bang
on about gender,” one Twitter user posted.

“My son goes to this school and decided he wanted to wear a skirt in support.
These kids should be praised not frowned on. I can’t believe the vile single
minded comments that some people have made. These kids and the school are
amazing and cover lots of topics,” one parent on Twitter said. 

“‘Wear a skirt to school day’ staff and pupils encouraged to take part ‘break
down gender stereotypes’ and ‘promote equality’ they’re to be praised so the
boys and staff who won’t wear a skirt to school today to promote equality will
they be frowned on?” another user tweeted.

The Edinburgh city council said that students don’t have to participate if they
don’t want to, and noted that the city is “fully committed to promoting
equality.” 

“As Scotland’s capital city we are fully committed to promoting equality and
diversity, and are keen to increase respect, tolerance and understanding
especially in our schools,” spokesperson for the Edinburgh Council said, the
Evening Edinburgh News reported Thursday. 

“The school has had positive feedback from parents however pupils don’t have to
take part if they don’t want to,” the council added. 

Though the new “wear a school to skirt day” is celebrated in Europe, the day
does not appear to be celebrated in schools in the United States.
