The school that banned SKIRTS: Gender-neutral uniform policy angers parents as thousands of children across Britain are barred from class over draconian rules

‘Parents have been left furious after the secondary school once attended by Piers Morgan banned skirts to make its uniform ‘gender neutral’ for transgender students.
