Girl not allowed to wear Union Jack dress

[blup]

All these groups calling for inclusion sure like to exclude loads.

Maybe a misjudgment by the school but not exclusionary. If people’s sense of Britishness is offended by this our country is well and truly f**ked.

I used to go to school in a union jack dress trying to get a day off, but they always made me stay....oh how times have changed.

Emmmm, is this classed as school uniform?

students were allowed in burkas, niqabs and traditional Nigerian clothing

As mentioned, the article does not mention if a letter was sent out or not. As a parent of a kid in secondary school it's the first thing I thought of, was there a letter or not and if so what was the content. Who knows - crap journalism.

I could have got away with it easily. When I was at school they didn’t know if I was a boy or a girl. That’s just how pretty I was as a young school student.

It is very difficult to know what to do. What is British or English attire. It's a bit easier for those with Scottish heritage because they can wear some tartan. But do us English actually have anything. Having said that, this was most likely a stunt. The speech especially.
