I think it’s sexist to make girls wear skirts. Why can’t they wear trousers like the boys? You can’t ride a bike, climb trees, do cartwheels in a skirt.

Even though I never had to wear one, I’m all for imposing uniforms on pre- college kids. If I had my way I’d continue the uniform into college, but I worry I won’t be able to physically tackle and dress them at that age.

I ain’t raising consumerist monkeys. I refuse to pay for Disney clothes in elementary/middle school only to worry about adult designer wear as they grow older. They should be thankful they’re even getting an education while millions of kids never see the inside of a school. Ungrateful wretches!

this.

and i’d rather see my daughter in a shalwar kameez than a creepy little bathing suit out there for the world to see when she has no knowledge of what sorta people exist [when she grows up, it’s her choice…but as a parent it’s one duty to attempt to instill these values so once the kid grows up they can make the right choice]

also, can you please explain how chadOr style dupattas are oppression in an educational setting in pakistan? and why do they make you sad? You cannot be comparing them to little girls in makeup/expensive clothes and perfect hair in school?

If we apply common sense alone, we realize that the clothes those little girls attend school in are just reflective of the culture and perhaps religion. I think it maintains their innocence and gives them a sense of identity, if utilized properly.
