英國一家教會中學(xué)禁止女生穿裙子,稱女生裙子太短,顯得“不淑女”。該校也由此成為英國第一所禁止13歲以下女生穿裙子的學(xué)校。該校校長大衛(wèi)?道特菲爾說,“有些高年級女學(xué)生開始穿超短裙,這種情況就很糟糕,尤其當(dāng)她們坐在學(xué)校禮堂的時候,顯得非常不淑女。我們會要求她們把裙子拉長點,但等我們一轉(zhuǎn)身她們又把裙子卷上去了?!币恍┘议L認(rèn)為這個禁令很“瘋狂”,并表示這會讓小姑娘們對自己的身份很困惑。

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."
