“They’re gonna clean up your looks with all the lies in the books, to make a citizen out of you. “ These lyrics were written to revolt the power of a society that wishes to take away individuality by building teens into well mannered citizens. This controlled society is similar to the school’s forcing uniforms upon their students attempting to make them all followers of the conformity. The very aspect of uniforms in schools is an utterly atrocious idea, not only does it crush individuality among teens, but also wastes your money and will have no effect on the increase of violence. To begin, uniforms will put an end to a teenager’s individuality. Teens will dress how they feel or how they want to feel in order to make themselves comforted and self confident when they go to school. Without this choice in their everyday lives, they lose their power to express themselves due to the bland, uncomforting and miss-fitting uniforms they are given. No teen will feel esteemed and elated to go to school if they are insecure about the new clothes they are forced to wear. Furthermore, the school will be sucking money out of your pocket in order to pay for these uniforms. These uniforms that you could just as easily avoid by switching schools, in return parrying unnecessary payments to the school board. Why not just spend the money on something beneficial for the kid’s, something that will better their learning experience, I’m sure clothing won’t do that. No one should have to pay money well deserved for something their child will not need in any way. Now, the reason this whole uniform dilemma began with schools wanting to decrease the violence occurring in them. But, most violence taking place in schools has no connection whatsoever to your wardrobe. Kids fight over friends, popularity, peer pressure and much more clothing not included. Violence will still peek its nasty head into lots of things, and no uniform will put a detriment in that. In the final analysis, uniforms serve no great purpose to schools because they take away individuality among teens, waste both the parent’s and school’s money and they will not serve as any sort of violence stopper. Your school along with many others will not benefit from this program on any level, so it is our decision to protest the uniform case.
