School uniforms advice from principal

Students wearing school uniforms in our area may be targeted because they are thought to come from affluent families and to carry cash, credit cards and expensive cellphones, according to Allan Hardy, principal of Greenwood College at Davisville Ave and Mount Pleasant Rd. Advice to the effect that girls may not wish to wear uniform skirts on the TTC was given by the police and passed on to the students. But Hardy said the advice was not intended to be sexist and was directed at all students. Two girls wearing uniforms on the TTC had complained to police about how a man was behaving towards them.
