Schools seem to be on a roll with wanting to ban things. A primary school wants to ban it's 7-11 year old girls from wearing skirts as they are wearing them too short:

Is this innapropriately sexualising children or a good idea to deter paedophiles from taking an interest in them?

It's a skirt for crying out loud. Females have worn them forever. Who is even suggesting it's sexualising girls at all? Certainly not that article.

Also what's that got to do with online safety?

No, I suspect not. I was just thinking that a paedophile may find a skirt thats too short to be titilating and encourage their interest in particular individuals.

A discussion on TV yesterdat morning where it was suggested that this extension of schools wanting to ban things was sexualising children. For balance there were also others who supported the idea.

I don't know how your mind works but it seems you're a bit too obsessed and it does look a bit unhealthy.

Why can't the school in question just apply the rules to a uniform, after all that's what a uniform means. Skirts should be knee length, and they should just enforce that as a rule. No need to ban skirts at all. To look into everything from a paedo's point of view constantly to me is just a bit weird.
