I'm petitioning for the right to send my daughter to school in trousers.

Giving our daughters the choice to wear trousers or pinafores enforces gender equality, without that choice what are we teaching them?

Boys AND GIRLS should be permitted to wear trousers to school, our daughters shouldn't have their freedom of movement challenged by restrictive school skirts or dresses. What does this teach our girls about equality? And discrimination?

All it means by requesting equality with uniform, is that instead of making girls wear skirts and boys were trousers, schools give all pupils the choice between both options. I would like to make it very, very clear that this is about freedom and choice. It will not affect individuals who do not wish to be affected. Girls can keep their skirts, boys can keep their trousers. All this motion does is ensure that nobody is excluded, disadvantaged , or forgotten about.

My daughter is always freezing in winter because of those thin skirts. Its just common sense to let them wear trousers if they want to.
