At a junior high school in Fukuoka City, we requested the Board of Education to review the school rules, saying that there are no rational explanations such as determining the color and hairstyle of underwear.
On the 21st, the "Fukuoka City Uniform Thinking Group" made up of parents and lawyers visited Fukuoka City Hall and submitted a request to the Board of Education.
In the request form, as a result of interviewing students about the school rules of public junior high schools in the city, it is rational such as "white underwear and underwear", "no ponytail", "white socks and 15 cm or more from the floor". It is said that there are school rules without any explanation.
In addition, despite the introduction of new uniforms that can be selected regardless of gender, we are requesting a review, saying that there are unnecessary distinctions such as schools that instruct boys to not be able to select.
In response, Masaki Fukahori, director of the Fukuoka City Board of Education, commented, "We will scrutinize the content of the request and carefully consider what we should do."
Tomikazu Goto of the "Fukuoka City Uniform Thinking Group" said, "I feel that children are having a hard time at school due to school rules, etc. I want to make an effort to make it a place where children can study freely." I'm talking to you.
