^ Well, my sister used to study in KC a few years ago. She used to wear jeans when she wanted and no body had any issues. This was the same when PML had the notorious 2/3 majority government.
If they think that it is good to take precaution, why not? They are not forcing them to wear burqa or something. Would you rather have students potentially assaulted?
If I think I am a potential target and the police/forces won't protect me, i'd grow a beard.
I would not have students assaulted, however as a nation we need to take a stand at some point in time.
what else will you want to give up for fear of taleban, stop sending girls to schoo, stop watching TV? stop shaving? where do we draw the line.
again, the college could have just simply stated why they have to do it, the going back to ohhh we have had this rule for ages and we just did not enforce it means diddly squat.
