To think gender colour coded lucky dip is unacceptable?

Helping out with the PTA I discovered kids were being asked to bring in lucky dip prizes, wrapped pink for girls and blue for boys. I was really shocked. Surely our kids should be encouraged not to discriminate and play with all toys? When I shared my concern that this reinforced unhelpful gender stereotypes some parents came back saying they didn't want boys to be upset or teased for receiving pink fluffy toys, or vice versa? I've never come across gender separated lucky dip before, and encountered hundreds. Is it normal?

Isn't it a legal requirement for schools to provide equal opportunities and not to gender stereotype?

Is anyone else thinking "just cancel the bloody lucky dip and be done with it" Grin
