Furious West Country mum slams school's 'sexist' uniform policy which bans shorts but not skirts

A furious West Country mum has slammed her son's school's 'sexist' uniform policy which bans shorts but not skirts in hot weather.

Mandy Drew's son Leo, who attends Tor Bridge High, joined his classmates to stage a 'peaceful protest' against the controversial uniform rules, but was then suspended for being disruptive, reports Plymouth Live. His mum has branded teachers hypocrites for protesting for causes they believe in but putting her 14-year-old son in isolation for his 'peaceful' demo.

His mum Mandy, aged 32, is now concerned about her son's welfare during the hot weather and doesn't agree that other pupils can wear skirts to keep cool, but shorts are not allowed.
