Is there anything that doesn’t provoke “outrage” nowadays?

Another reason to have school uniforms.

I haven’t seen JCPenny’s ad but K-Mart is running “Be A Trayvon” ads.

I dislike the hypersenstivity, but I'm enjoying that JCPenney is being kicked by it. Live by political correctness, die by political correctness. But then I had uniforms in grade school and usually went for jeans and a t-shirt in high school so I never got into the "back to school" clothes frenzy.

Reprehensible marketing tactics, but they’ve been using them for decades.
When I was in school my siblings and I were the subject of scorn and bullying because my Dad was too thrifty and sensible to buy us the “right” tennis shoes. We survived.

I have a photo of my granddaughter as she enters 7th grade. She’s happy although I wish her shorts were longer. You can tell from her face that she’s joyful. Have a photo (from Facebook) of my cousin’s granddaughter entering 7th grade. She does not look happy. She’s wearing a uniform and sensible shoes and glasses. Poor girl is big, not fat but looks very tall and a bit stocky.

I'll admit that I didn't see the connection until your post.
However, in addition to muting or changing the channel whenever I hear it, I've been thinking about complaining to K-Mart about the obnoxiousness of the ad.
And it's on a variety of channels that I didn't think it would be worth targeting.

When I was young we didn’t need advertising to tell us that if we didn’t wear the “right” clothes we wouldn’t be accepted. Kids are the most notorious conformists going.

Kmart so desperate now they are counting on back-to-school layaway sales from the 'hood to save them.
To: rightwingintelligentsia
The ad is insensitive but it’s also true. Wearing the wrong clothes in school can make your life hell. My clothes were from a thrift store and nothing matched and I got put downs all the time. Just the way it is. Kids are mean.

Another vote for uniforms. The charter schools around here require them and they seem to promote relatively civilized behavior.

Having watched the ad, the whole “bullying” crap is a pantload by hand-wringing pantywaists.
