UK "Catholic" primary school introduces “Gender Neutral” uniform
St Anthony’s Catholic primary school in Southwark Diocese UK
announced yesterday that it will be introducing a “Gender Neutral”
school uniform from September 2017.
In its weekly newsletter via the school’s website, Head teacher Mrs. Jane Day says:
“I am pleased to announce that the Governors have
approved the introduction of a gender neutral uniform which will be
introduced in September. Rather than having a separate uniform for girls
and boys, one uniform list will be produced and girls and boys can
choose whether they wear skirts, pinafores, shorts or trousers. There is
no change to the uniform which will remain grey, green, yellow and
white.”
Her announcement has left parents stunned and upset as it goes
completely against the teachings of the Catholic Church, and they say
they were not consulted or informed whatsoever of the changes to the
uniform.
