    "Limiting freedom," as you just said, is unconstitutional. Thank you for proving my point. Clothing is not a direct effect on what kids "focus" on. When you find a reliable source proving that clothing does not let children focus, then try that point again. Once again, it is not the clothing which promotes violence. It is the children doing it to themselves. If they were not to wear "gang" clothing, they would just get tattoos or some other form of identification. If children are in gangs, they will be with clothing or no clothing associated to that specific gang. Instead of teaching children to not wear certain clothing, teach them morals and what is right and wrong to not get involved with such groups. Once again, if the PERSON THEMSELVES consent to not wearing things that they wish ie. private schools, that is fine. It is when the school forces students is when we know it is a problem and a freedom violation. You have no evidence tying any kind of clothing into "bullying," until you do, leave that point to the side. You are speculating, wearing a certain shirt does not simply lower one's self-esteem. You are talking like things like this happen very frequently and it is a MAJOR problem. When in reality, it is not. When was the last time you heard about a kid hurting themselves over clothing?

There is a difference between dress codes and uniforms. That is a whole different debate. Please do not tie the two together because it will get us nowhere. Please refrain in the future from using personal experiences that may, or may not be true. I want to see facts. If there are none, come up with a different point. How does a piece of clothing make children feel "left out?" If anything, students express themselves and who they really are through their clothing and freedom of speech, leading them to find like mind individuals and be more confident in their shoes overtime.
