Uniforms

Dear Dr. Richard O' Malley,


          "The unity of freedom has never relied on uniformity of opinion." (John F. Kennedy) Public schools grades K-12 are trying to enforce a school uniform policy. School uniforms are not beneficial to creativity or freedom of clothing. As long as no one wears anything inappropriate uniforms are not needed. One, if we have school uniforms everyone will have to wear the same thing. Two, a student wears what they want to express them self. Lastly, we students should get a say in this debate since this decision affects us not the administration.
          Wearing the same thing blocks individuality and creativity. If everyone wears the same thing there would be no enjoyment on seeing other people's clothes. Everyone has their own taste in clothing. "That isn't true" is what the opposition would say. They are wrong because it is true. It will take away the student's freedom to dress the way they want. Parents will have to buy uniforms plus other clothes for outside of school. Creativity should not be allowed to be taken away from anyone.
          Clothes let people express themselves. People wear what they feel. If someone is happy they wear bright colors. If someone is sad they wear cool colors. "Uniforms can help students express themselves." That is what the opposition. They are wrong because students are not wearing what they want. Forcing us students to wear what we don't want is not right.
          Students should get a say. Since this decision affects us students it is only fair to us we get a say. We don't know how the uniforms will look. "We'll get nice uniforms" is what the opposition would say. They would just say that so students don't argue. We should decide if we have to get uniforms or not.
          Uniforms are a bad idea.  We all have to wear the same thing. Students wear what they want to express themselves. This is a big decision and will affect us students not administration. Uniforms are not a good idea. Students and their parents will get angry because the students are forced to wear the uniforms and the parents will be force to spend their money to buy them. There should be a vote weather to get uniforms or not.

                                                                                                                             Moiz Manzoor
