Ban all message clothing at secondary public schools. It is a distraction from the essential purpose of the place. Ban all message clothing at secondary public schools. It is a distraction from the essential purpose of the place.

I don't think that would work in the public schools. The courts and lawyers wouldn't allow it.

There may be some public schools that require uniforms, but I'd be surprised. I doubt Clinton would have come out for uniforms in public schools if he thought it were at all possible to require them.

Actually some public schools do require uniforms, but they are magnet schools. I think there are some courts that have slapped the first amendment on clothing restrictions, or message clothing in public schools (although perhaps not magnet schools), but the decisions are silly and should be dumped. No one is restricting message clothing or clothing off school property.
