A school in Manchester caused controversy this week over uniform policy after taking issue with a schoolgirl's socks and bag.
A parent claimed her daughter had been told by a teacher that they would cut the bows off her socks if she wore them again, and that a black tote bag was 'inappropriate' and would need to be replaced.
Following this incident, we want to know your thoughts on whether schools enforce uniform policies too readily.
Let us know your thoughts in our comments section.
Some readers have already had their say on the issue - which the parent said left them 'disgusted' - with one person responding: "I agree with uniform policy but threatening to cut off bows could be very distressing for a small child."
Another added on the bag: "This is absolutely ridiculous. At what point does a bag mess with the child's ability to learn?"
In response the school said they have 'the highest of expectations for all students', and added: "Uniform expectations were shared with all families on several occasions and every child was given financial support to purchase their new uniform."

Right-wing Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson has accused schools and hospitals of “sex crimes” and “sexualising children” for discussing sexuality and providing gender-affirming care.“In a healthy country, with an intact social fabric, neighborhood dads would give out instant justice to anyone who even thought about sexualizing their kids,” he said. “Sexualizing children screws them up for life — ask anyone to whom it has happened — period.

Just two months after President Joe Biden announced steps to increase federal protections for the LGBTQ community, it appears public schools in Louisiana will be refusing to implement policies protecting LGBTQ students that would comply with guidance from the U.S. Department of Education.As part of a larger executive order, Biden directed the Education Department to form a working group aimed at advancing pro-LGBTQ policies in schools, in the name of creating “safe and inclusive learning environments in which all students thrive.”The extent of those policies may vary, but will largely embrace the principle that LGBTQ students, especially transgender students, are protected from discrimination under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a federal law prohibiting sex-based discriminatory practices in taxpayer-funded schools.Last year, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, citing the legal logic underlying a landmark LGBTQ rights case from 2020, clarified that anti-LGBTQ discrimination is inherently a form of sex-based discrimination.In issuing his executive order, Biden noted that over 300 proposed anti-LGBTQ laws have been introduced over the past year, many of which specifically target transgender children and their parents “by banning access to medical care and support at school.” The order, and the formation of the working group focused on pro-LGBTQ policies, were intended to provide a framework with which to implement the principles previously outlined by Cardona.But many social conservatives, including Louisiana state officials, disagree with the premise that Title IX applies to any situation besides those explicitly dealing with a person’s assigned sex at birth.

Private and public schools alike participate in the National School Lunch Program, which funds meals for millions of students across the country.In May, the USDA had announced that schools participating in NSLP must create policies prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation.But after lawsuits from a religious school and conservative-led states, the USDA clarified on August 12 that religious schools participating in NSLP can continue allowing discrimination against LGBTQ students and staff.“USDA regulations do not require a religious educational institution to submit a written request for a Title IX exemption in order to claim that exemption,” the memo read.The controversy stems from debates around Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination based on sex in federally funded education programs. In a change from the Trump administration, the Biden administration has interpreted Title IX as also banning discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.The USDA’s announcement this May fell in line with Biden’s interpretation.“State and local agencies, program operators and sponsors that receive funds from [the Food and Nutrition Service] must investigate allegations of discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation,” a May 5 press release read.“Those organizations must also update their non-discrimination policies and signage to include prohibitions against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.”On July 26, twenty-two states signed onto a lawsuit filed against the USDA policy.
