I say we should all dress up in what we like to wear. We should express what we like to the world and not be dressed like clones. I meen really, its the 21 century, not when jesus was born. I say to obama that we hate uniforms and they look so ugly. Not to mention my daughter is on my side with this to. Also my son. Heres a question to all who like uniforms. I don't want to get offensive but it is like you rewired your brain and don't read fashion magazines. NO UNIFORM FOREVER!!!!!!! I dont care what mossbaby has to say.

For those who have been brainwashed by the media, a knife is NOT a weapon by default. Is a hammer a weapon? Are your fists a weapon? This story reflects upon our sheeple society, Ted from above being top of the list. How is this misbehaviour?

He should have let it slide and gave him a warning saying he was going to tell the principal. If the principle thought he should get expelled he should have suspended him for a short time and said next time your expelled. and if he didnt use it then just take it away if he was still making then just take it away Chris I think if the student was a good kid and didnt have any other reports of violence or misbehavior.

It is important for kids to express how they feel while they are young. Building self esteem threw self expression will help kids learn how to dress nicer. A school uniforms policy inhibits a student’s freedom of choice. Schools teach students that our country is a free one. But when school boards make students wear what they tell them too it takes away the student’s freedom because kids could not show their likes. They couldn’t show how they dress like hip-hop, preppy, or mix matched. This isn’t fair because it takes the kids personality away. Another reason why kids shouldn’t wear uniforms is because uniforms would be uncomfortable. Instead of being comfortable and focusing on class you would be itching, scratching, and being distracted from their uniforms. In the winter you would have to wear extra clothes and you would sweat if they had the heaters on. Some students have to wear something they don’t want to, like skirts. The money is expensive and predictable. Some kids parents cant afford the uniforms because they cost over 180$ at some stores and others higher. Parents also have to buy normal clothes for the weekend or for parties and they can’t pant their nails, can’t do their makeup, and can’t do your hair. And girls need there up or down or pant their nails girls need to think there pretty I think I no that cause I am a girl. Kids need to be individuals!
