So why not just wear uniforms for the office, too? People forget to mention that the same %#@&#! goes on in the workplace, too.
Uniforms don't solve the problem of non-acceptance in children-- or anybody. Uniforms don't take away the other things that kids get bullied for-- weight, haircut, height, choice of friends, disability, intelligence, etc, etc, etc.
Instead of restricting kids, why not allow them to express themselves and be comfortable for it? Putting everyone in the same outfit does not model the real world.
I notice that when speaking about allowing kids to dress the way that they want, most of you have focused on promiscuous or offensive styles. What about creative dressing that is appropriate? I would say dress codes are a good idea, but let the kids have fun with their physical expression.
