So on the school calendar there is a pink mufti day next week for Reception and KS1. Apparently it's because a teacher is going off on maternity and expecting a girl. Thats 180 children who are going to be told ' you need to wear pink today because Mrs X is having a girl'. Maybe just me but I dislike the whole pinkification of girls and everything it stands for ie lesser expectations of girls. In the clothes realm I'm thinking of the rows of scientist/ astronaut tops for boys vs the "I'm pretty/ cute" tops for girls. I understand most people will say pink is just a colour but I do think its unnecessary for a school to reinforce these stereotypes. Any thoughts anyone?

AIBU?
To think a pink mufti day is outdated and downright ridiculous?
