Banned from School for being a Man

[Alterego]

Terrible story here of a young boy banned from school for growing a mustache. There are also allegations that similar restrictions apply in Irish schools. Why are boys being attacked for growing into men? No one has anything to say about female changes - why do boys have to remove essential aspects of their masculinity?

Discrimination on the gender ground - take it to the Equality Tribunal, kick their asses!

Very interesting point. The hierarchy depends to some extent on the fiction that people are still children at the age of 16-18.

Its indirect discrimination....an offence under the legislation. I doubt if he will now ask you to represent at Tribunal!

I am not 100% sure of the details, but I think there was a successful case taken against a school for this before.

I don't think a school has any more business asking a guy to shave his face than they do asking a woman to shave her legs.

It's utterly ridiculous.

Well if we didn't discourage such behaviours our daughters might end up spending their lives with nothing better than a common wahhabbiist

No much better this

The UK based Muslim troll is back.

Stay out of Irish issues and stop pretending to be tolerant.
