[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.
