London: A teacher of a school in the UK has been slammed for ordering schoolgirls to wear tights so that it keeps them safe on the way to school. The parents of the kids were sent a letter that asked girls to cover up to “protect their modesty” and make sure they are “properly safeguarded on their way to and from school”, The Sun said.
Fourteen-year-old Hannah McEnaney, a student of the school, said she was handed a pair of tights after turning up in a skirt and socks. Her mum Carol said: “My daughter prefers wearing socks, and just doesn’t like wearing tights.
“She does not dress inappropriately. She’s perfectly presentable, and there shouldn’t be a problem as the skirt isn’t short.”
