I wish there was a way to share a letter I received to day as I took my son into his school wearing a simple pair of Flats, jeans , and a windbreaker which was obvisiously male . The teacher had a hissy fit over the shoes ................. I'm banned now from the property. ellen

That is horrible. How can they ban you? You have every right to be there just like any other parent!

How bizarre. I don't begin to understand this. I know a woman who takes her children to school while she is wearing her dressing gown. How can anyone tell you what to wear?

I would look at legal options available. I don't think they'd have a leg to stand on in the UK.

I"d want to have a little discussion about the matter with the school administrator and bring up the potential for costly litigation and negative press. (Always use the biggest hammer you can find in your tool box!) We are not door mats for bigots to wipe their feet on!
