"Our school system has blue or white polo or button down shirts and khaki pants."

Sounds like your school system has uniforms rather than a dress code; or maybe you're saying that a supplementary dress code is needed to dictate how the uniforms are worn. If so, I'm not against that. What I view as unworkable (as evidenced by these continuing controversies about "inappropriate" slogans or images on T-shirts, etc.)is a dress code without uniforms.

Yes, it is a uniform policy and it does help with the 'inappropriate' slogans or any slogans at all including the clothing company emblems (which makes school shopping an adventure..NOT! lol). Even with a uniform policy, the enforcement is arbitrary. The issue has become so out of control that athletic Letter jackets are no longer within uniform policy and otherwise good kids are being suspended for wearing the same thing someone else may never even get called to the Uniform Control Officer for!

There are problems on both sides of the uniform issue. Thankfully we've only got 2 1/2 more years of gubmint school..course that means our baby will be going off to college!
