(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 16 - Female students at a high school in
Rome came to school in mini skirts and shorts Wednesday to
protest against a female teacher who scolded a girl for showing
her belly button in a skimpy top in a phone video by saying "are
you on the Salaria?", a road in the Italian capital known for
its sex workers.
"We're breaking the dress code, and we've come in skirts and
shorts to protest against the prof who offended our schoolmate,"
they said at the liceo Righi.
The girl who shot the video told ANSA she was "happy that the
protest went well, even though the teacher didn't apologise but
only said her remark had been 'unhappy'".
She also said the teacher had shown "discrimination" after
replying to a question about the possibility of a boy wearing
shorts by saying she would ask him "are you at the beach".
