Queensland student loses discrimination case over school's uniform policy on skirts
www.abc.net.au
A Queensland tribunal has found a school didn't discriminate against a school student by requiring females to wear skirts to formal school occasions.

A female student alleged the school’s uniform policy was discriminatory against females

The school said the allegations were “offensive and baseless”

The tribunal found there wasn’t enough evidence to conclude the student was being treated unfairly because she was female

    Even more wtf:

    The concern of modesty was also dismissed by Mr Gordon given that the skirt was required to be long enough to touch the ground when kneeling, and the uniform policy permitted girls to wear shorts underneath their skirts.

      If they’re “permitted to year shorts” why not just skip the skirt and let them wear shorts?

        My point exactly, I mean it just seems absurd. The question is: what is gained by wearing a skirt?

        I think I know the answer…
