School Dress Codes

I have never been a proponent of school uniforms. I believe they strip youth of their individuality.

Times are not the same as when I was in school. The violence in schools today calls for measures that are more drastic. I am terrified by the thought of some kid carrying a firearm into my nephews' school. After watching the video below, I must change my opinion completely.

Leave a comment and let me know what do you think?

I think there are places where uniforms make sense, but not in all cases. In schools with a lot of gang presence, then it helps.

But in a lot of rural america, it isn't a big problem in schools. There is no need for them there.

How one dresses is a big part of free speech in high school. I don't think it should be removed without there being a safety issue present.
