Male teachers wear skirts to school in support of expelled student
[NYPOST] Male teachers and students in Spain have been coming to class in skirts in solidarity with a boy who was expelled for wearing one last November.
Isn't it grand that this is the most important problem facing Spain!
The instructors’ hope their protest alongside the disciplined student, dubbed #ClothesHaveNoGender (#LaRopaNoTieneGenero), goes to challenge gender stereotypes.
The movement began when math teacher Jose Piñas donned a skirt for his class after student Mikel Gómez, 15, was kicked out of school and forced to see a psychologist after he chose to don a skirt to promote gender nonconformity. A video by Gómez describing the incident was watched by more than 2 million on TikTok.
Piñas, too, had a message for followers on social media following his students’ controversy. "20 years ago I suffered persecution and insults for my sexual orientation in the institute where I am now a teacher," wrote Piñas on social media.
