I'm from the UK, but on a similar note, I remember when as girls we would get detentions if we wore socks that showed our ankles when wearing trousers. They called a whole school assembly about how - I'm not even kidding - showing our ankles would distract boys. I wish I was joking. They pitched it in this way that basically said 'it's your responsibility to make sure boys aren't distracted by you because you're girls and all you do is act as a temptation'.

Jeez. I’m from the UK too and at the start of a new school year anyone wearing navy socks instead of black socks got sent home for the day

The word 'moronic' comes to mind.

Ah man that's so idiotic and ignorant. I'm from the UK to and the girls at my school weren't allowed to wear make up or jewellery or anything, even during their final years, (15 - 18 year olds), where physical appearance becomes really important to teens.

Tho the schools I went to did tend to completely overreact and freak out over the stupidest things, so I'm not surprised they made such an issue about ankle socks.
