Thank god school uniforms don't exist in most schools in America. I realize a couple Catholic/private schools have them. But if they ever hit public schools, there will be an open rebellion against the federal government of United States. A rebellion that will result in massive loss of life. Taking away the right to dress freely in American high schools and junior high schools is the line that we the people of the United States of America draw. Our Founding Fathers gave us the right to bear arms to prevent totalitarianism and rebel against our government if need be. I hope it doesn't come to a rebellion, but we will rebel if necessary. Hopefully things will never come to that though, hopefully school uniforms never exist. And they never will, because if they did, there would be a rebellion. Everyone will rebel, both high school students and your average citizen who has had enough of this totalitarianism in America.

HUH? The elementary and middle schools in Tulsa wear uniforms. It works out really well. Parents are not pressured to buy a bunch of expensive clothes for their child to "fit in", gangs cannot display their colors, and the focus is on academics and not what's on a kid's body. It has really cut down on discipline problems. Constitutional rights can be exercised by those over the age of 18. I do not think it applies here.
"it's just just a school uniform that you're forced to wear against your will"
"it's just a curfew that effects everyone"
"it's just surveillance cameras in public"
"it's just getting patted down at airports"
"it's just censorship of 'unsavory' media"
"it's just the government controlling the press"
"it's just the right to hold supposedly 'bad' people without charging them with a crime"
Where does it end? It won't ever end. If we give them an inch, they will ruin America even more so than it already is. The government wants for there to be complete "order" and absolutely no freedoms. It would be easier for the government that way, then they could bend the universe to their will.

Well..I advise you never get a job that requires you to wear a uniform.
Are you kidding me? An "open rebellion"? Over what kids wear to school. Uh-huh.
There are really serious issues going on in schools today, and only a handful of parents seem to care. As if.
This reminds me of the threads where people are all crazy about wanting to move to Oregon, until they find out that we're not allowed to pump our own gas here. Its full-service all the way - somebody else has to stand in the cold rain and fill your tank for you. Boo hoo. Suddenly they're throwing a fit and declaring they don't want to move here anymore - because they can't pump their own gas.
Our kids have gone to a few different public schools that had uniforms and it was wonderful. Most parents loved it. The school my kids go to now does not have uniforms but a few parents have brought it up, wanting them.
