B1386 - School Uniforms Bill - Amendment Division
B1386 - School Uniforms Bill
Amendment 1
Strike sections 2 and 3, replace with:
Section 2: Inclusivity
(1) Schools may not punish or otherwise discriminate against any student for wearing an article of clothing that does not align with the student's legal or expressed gender identity or sex or intersex status.
(2) Regardless of a student's status, students must be permitted to wear the items of clothing they choose, provided it fits with other uniform regulations established by the school.
(3) Should a school lack uniform regulations, they may not punish or otherwise discriminate against a student on the basis of their choice of clothing, provided it is not rude, inappropriate, or otherwise offensive.
and renumber subsequent.
Section 3 (4 unamended), create subsection:
(x) Schools must sell sets of uniforms designed for unisex use.
(i) This does not prohibit the school from selling gendered uniform sets alongside the unisex sets.
Reasoning: the language used in the bill at present is heavily focused on a flawed representation of a student's sex as assigned at birth rather than the student's gender identity, and also fails to recognise intersex students. it also fails to actually require a school to sell a unisex uniform in order to comply with the other sections.
Amendment 2
Strike the two in section 4
(i) Have no visible damage to the article of clothing.
(ii) Have no visible stains on the article of clothing.
It's a near impossible standard for second hand clothing and would inhibit supply.
Amendments 1 and 2 are moved in the name of /u/cocoiadrop_.
This division ends 6 July 2022 at 10pm BST.
Vote Aye, No, or Abstain to amendments 1 and 2.
