Students strike against head's 'fat-phobic' remarks on girls

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 3 - Some 300 Italian high-school students from three Vicenza licei struck on Friday protesting what they called "sexist, fat-phobic and paternalistic" remarks by the Fogazzaro Liceo's head teacher against some girls there.
    The Fogazzaro students were joined by those from the liceo Pigafetta and the liceo Quadri.
    The students held up placards including one saying "we are striking for your good taste".
    The head teacher reportedly made disparaging remarks about overweight girls sporting skimpy clothing.
    She also sanctioned students who were found to have breached the liceo's dress code. (ANSA).
