The president of the Ile-de-France region, Valérie Pécresse, pleads for "an outfit that is normal" at school.
The movement launched by many high school girls continues to react on social networks, but also in the political sphere. A few days ago, Jean-Michel Blanquer said "Just dress normally and you'll be fine." This left much to be desired for a majority of people claiming freedom to dress without judgment. This Thursday, September 17, it was Valérie Pécresse who spoke on the subject. She explains to France Info that she is not against crop tops, she "love them" it seems, but with a certain limit: "School is not how you want it to be. You don't go to school to show your navel ", she said before adding: "I love crop tops, Crop tops are cute, but you don't go to school to show off your belly button. We can put them out of school. "
These words seem, in fact, quite similar to those of Jean-Michel Blanquer. It remains to be seen how to define a "normal outfit." Alongside this, some politicians have hailed the initiative of the young girls who, since last Monday, have been trying to denounce the injunction imposed on young girls. Marlène Schiappa, for example, wrote on Twitter: "Today # Monday, September 14, young girls all over France spontaneously decided to wear low-cut crop top skirts or makeup to assert their freedom in the face of sexist judgments and acts. As a mother, I support them with sorority and admiration. "
Skirts, tank tops, crop top… Many of them dressed freely on Monday September 14th to protest against the regulations of certain school principals. On Twitter, many are the high school girls who, for example, protested by showing their outfit, comparing for example the length of their shorts with that of their male comrades who, them, are neither sanctioned nor judged on their outfit.
