Female students from first through to sixth year at Carlow Presentation College were told to not wear tight-fitting clothes for PE. Newstalk reported that a series of assemblies were held in the school for female students from all year groups last Friday, where the students were asked to not wear tight clothes for PE, such as leggings. A parent said that her younger daughter, who attends the school, were told not to show “no knees, no ankles, no collarbones”. The petition, written anonymously, states that the students were told not “to wear leggings or tight bottoms for PE as they cannot show off the ‘female anatomy’”. “Students are regularly reminded of school rules and regulations at Assembly.”It added that the “pastoral care needs of all students” are looked after through school channels.
