As I said, uniforms in public schools solve a lot of problems. Poor kids are dressed just like the rich,, so no friction there. Gang members cannot display their colors. Offensive messages on shirts are out, as is sexually provocative clothing. Anyone dressed differently on campus stands out as a potential intruder, increasing safety.

As for families, with uniforms there are no morning arguments about the appropriateness of an outfit, as well as no argument at the clothing store about school clothes.

I'm not talking about a UNIFORM like the military or scouts wear. Just some khaki or dark pants, socks & hard sole shoes, & 2-3 collared shirts, pull over or button up. Similar for girls.

This is the uniform of my local public schools, & it makes good sense & saves some good cents for families, too.

I don't buy your Hitler comparison. Our brave soldiers wear a uniform, scouts wear uniforms, park rangers, firemen, & policemen wear uniforms. Clearly, the best part of America wears a uniform. Even Captain Kirk wore a uniform! :) I don't recall Hitler when I see these people, nor when I see kids dressed uniformly in school.

What I have seen recently that reminds me of Hitler is the video of school kids singing the “Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmmm” song. I don't believe I saw any uniforms. Liberals (nothing personal) hate uniforms. I am far more concerned about what kids learn in school that what they wear.

Soldiers need to wear uniforms as they are in the goverments service, but school children are not soldiers.

The men who fought in vietnam complained that since every one dressed the same and did not wear uniforms that could not be identified as the enemy made it hard for them to know who thier enemy was, so soldiers do need uniforms.

Prisoners also wear uniforms, children are not prisoners.

if dress has so much to do with telling what kind of kids they are by how they dress, then uniforms makes no sense at all because they would be all the same.

How would they recognize the trouble makers if they were all dressed the same, how would you be able to tell a gang member from a good kid, its all nonsense,.

make them dress the same, give them the same grades, make them all eat the same thing, just a bunch of socialist bullcrap, and socialism is unamerican.

And just to think, I did not think that i could agree with a liberal about anything,

Yes I think soldiers need to wear uniforms so they can identify each other and for obvious other reasons and maybe even big city police, but a small town deputy, they look like clowns. school kids in uniforms, ( stupid socialism )
