School Bans Girly Socks Because Of Health Hazard
Man, I thought this sort of stuff only happens here in the US but it seems like the United Kingdom has all a share of stupidity.
A school banned girls from wearing girly socks because students might get hurt, according to a school letter sent to parents in the United Kingdom.
There are plenty of dangerous stuff at school including slippery floors, broken playground equipment and of course, bumps in the floor.
Now, you can add a new strange thing to the danger list, cute girly socks.
The latest fashion socks called "Princess", which is a sock decorated with ruffles, bows or ribbons, is now a safety hazard, according to one school principal in the United Kingdom.
After a student tripped over last week, the school informed parents that it is prohibiting the luxury socks.
One mother, Tracy Rudge, who makes the handmade socks for her six-year-old daughter Lily-Jo, has vowed to circumvent the ban.
