Are we moving forward or backward?

I few days back I read this article on Hindustan Times about ban of skirts in Britain schools.
I didn't mind much what they are doing in their country but this news made me to trackback my memory.
I remember the day as it is just few moment past. Here it follows:

There is a high school in Lucknow for girls. Skirts are included in their dress codes. One of my classmate got admission there. But her first day was not as per her expectations. On the day one to school for 9th class she was called "backward and non-modern" just because he was having a long skirt!! Again back to home, her mom somewhat shortened her skirt. She was no longer in fear of to be backward and non-modern. Happily came the second day but happiness ended in the morning assembly when principal of that school cut-off her skirt with a scissor from bottom!! Girl astonished and didn't go to school for few days.

Was this incident good enough to be contrasted against the things that are done in Britain. I am still thinking are we moving forward or backward?
