Thank you, Mr. Kelman. Promoting school uniforms promotes, in my opinion, a false sense that a school is actually doing something about discipline. It is a smokescreen to hide the fact that there's little schools are willing to do, because they're afraid of making parents mad. It is like fake discipline: The kids can still disrupt, harass teachers, bully each other, and get away with a slap on the wrist at best: "But look, we're doing something about it!"

It is oppressive, makes a school a drab place, takes away individual expression in a society in which freedom is promoted as being a positive thing, not a negative thing, and does not solve discipline problems. It punishes the vast majority of kids who do not break a regular dress code in favor of trying to control the small number who do by controlling everybody, instead of just the culprits. It always amazes me when schools teach about what a great, free country we live in, then do things like this. What hypocrisy.

You've got to be kidding. This guy's whole mantra was making the rich richer- the way rich way richer - on the backs of average Americans.
