NO UNIFORMS!

In his 1996 State Of The Union address,Bill Clinton suggested that public schools should have a uniform policy. President Clinton stated that school uniforms would creates less violence and teaches good values and citizenship. Well I disagree with that statement. School uniforms don't create good values and citizenship,people do. Forcing students to wear uniforms is unfair and it's untrue that allowing students to wear their own clothes creates violence and stops schools from teaching good values and citizenship.

Uniforms don't solve the problems their supporters say they do. For example,school uniforms doesn't stop violence and inequality. In "Say No to School Uniforms",it said,"Each city hoped that uniforms would limit school violence". Violence and hate can still happen. School uniforms can't stop students from hating each other and getting into fights. Another reason is that students have to wear the same style of clothes.Some students might find it boring to wear the same thing over and over. Also,school uniforms doesn't seem to stop peer pressure either. In "Say No to School Uniforms", it said,"Students will still want to follow the new fashion trends, even if they can't wear the clothes in class". Those are reasons school uniforms aren't what they're suppose to be.

If their were no school uniforms, this would be good for students. Students would have a sense of freedom. Students would be able to express themselves by wearing what they want.Like in "First Impressions",Shawna said"You can still express your individuality". That's the same situation with students and their uniforms. Students don't have to wear uniforms to be good people and have good character. They can wear anything and still act the same. Also,in "First Impressions",there was a passage where Shawna was reading a magazine and a section said "Clothes Make the Woman and the Man. Well the same thing goes for this statement. Uniforms don't change how boys and girls act.

Wearing school uniforms doesn't help change anything in school or society. I don't see the point to wear uniforms. I think students should wear what they want. Schools should give the students a chance to express themselves and get rid of uniforms.
