If no one had a problem with it, how do you know about it?

Personally I think Mexicans should go back to Mexico but if they want to be Americans then they can stay.

Actually, I propose that we ban the wearing of shirts in general, especially by girls - as an accommodation to all those single guys who never get to see any boobs, except on the internet

What, makes as much sense AND accommodates a much more inclusive minority

you're on the right track.

Personally i think that all Public schools should have uniforms.

I went to a private school, we were required to wear uniforms.

we b*tched about it for about a week and then it sort of went by the wayside.

on the positive not... nobodys clothes were any more or less offensive or provocative / revealing than anyone else's.

Charter schools in Baltimore are now uniformed schools. I like uniforms because there is never any question in my house as to what to wear for school on any given day and it saves me a bundle every year because I do not need to buy the latest trends in clothing/shoes. I think we have had this discussion before and I was basically called an ass for liking uniforms for schools.

No. No uniforms in public educational institutions with mandatory attendance requirements. If private schools want uniforms, that's fine, but none in public schools. That's coercion, and it is immoral. Public schools do enough of that BS already, which is why our educational system sucks.

Maybe uniforms are a good choice and maybe they aren't, but until the public school system is on equal competitive footing with the private school system, there should be no mandate for uniforms. Let the public schools compete. Take away their fiat funding and let parents decide what to do with it. Use a voucher system, or something similar. If schools that use uniforms perform better, we'll end up with a glut of schools with every kind of uniform imaginable. If uniforms are ultimately viewed as detrimental, there will still be schools that use uniforms for people to choose.
