Police Tell Girls To Told To Stop Wearing Pervert-Attracting School Uniforms In Public
SCHOOLGIRLS have been advised not to wear their uniforms on the Tornto subway. A man has been looking up their skirts. So. It follows that the girls should change their behaviour.
Allan Hardy, head of Greenwood College, notes that two pupils at his school have been targeted. He listens to the police and conveys his message to parents:
The Toronto Sun reports:
“Students, especially females, should consider not wearing their school uniform when riding the TTC … This person was looking up the girls’ skirts … So the advice is given… if they had, for example, jeans or sweatpants on, it wouldn’t be an issue.”
Police spokeswoman Wendy Drummond tries to explain, and in so doing makes it worse:
“My understanding of the advice that was given from the officer is that it did not specify a skirt … The officer was explaining to the principal that for students, not just girls, that a uniform provides a lot of information to people that you might not realize. Now we’ve got kids in public, broadcasting where they’re going to school, what route they’re taking to school. The advice given was for the protection of the students. It was not meant to be anything other than advice.”
Let’s hope the advise works – and let’s also hope that men who like leering at children dressed in sweaters and jeans don’t use flash photography…
