» The town of Plouisy (2,000 inhabitants), near Guingamp (Côtes-d'Armor), will not experiment with wearing a uniform in its public primary school.
Among the 100 establishments selected, it was however the only one in Brittany and even in the west of France.
It must be said that a demonstration bringing together 100 people took place on Wednesday evening under the windows of the town hall: students, teachers, elected officials and angry parents.
For them, this decision “which is reminiscent of the army” was made “without asking the opinion of the children and their parents”.

The experiment cannot therefore take place.
