    How did these teenage boys in the U.K. protest their school's "no shorts" policy? By wearing skirts, naturally.pic.twitter.com/201fDkoRly

        That is stupid. Why don't they just protest by wearing shorts?

        Because that has consequences in their schools code, while boys wearing skirts does not. Plus this shows how ridiculous the standard is.

        Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't think this is funny or the right thing to do. When I went to school, we couldn't wear pants... Please

        When you went to school wasn't 2017, and forcing them to swelter in the heat (as they can't wear shorts) is a dumb school policy.

        Then the Parents should meet with the authorities and see if they can change the rules. Looks like a private school so rules are rules...

        First shorts, then ideas... what if they don't match the school policy, you won't be allowed to join class ... First step to dictatorship

        What's wrong with shorts? Either install central a/c in the school or allow the boys to wear shorts.

        I think it's stupid to celebrate guys for wearing skirts when girls have the most restrictive wardrobes at school. It's was only 32c outside

        They are been called geniuses for wearing skirts. When they collectively come up with a solutions for what everyone wears, then we'll talk
