    Since you are so persistant, I will make arguments...

    School uniforms should be banned.

    Once again all points stated are false. Since you are so persistant, I will make arguments underlining the benefits of Since you are so persistant, I will make arguments underlining the benefits of school uniforms, but first I shall refute. REFUTATIONS "1st again like I said before it is against the first amendment." 1st I would like to point out you still fail to meet your BoP. You show no evidence that it goes against the first amendment. Before even explaining how it doesn't go agains the first amendment I would like to point the most obvious thing. Uniforms aren't only in America. Uniforms are worn all over the world, and not every country has the same amendament as America. In fact, few other countries even have amendaments. Now to continue on to the 1st amendament. Since you failed to meet your BoP, which is already pretty much a loss, I will share mine.The first amendament is the following: "The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices. It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceably and to petition their government. " [1] It guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly and the right to petition. It forbids congress for stopping religious practices. It guarantees freedom of expression. In the first amendament, when they speak of freedom of expression, they mean the right to speach. Not expressing yourself through clothing and money. You can tell they speak solely of speach when they say "restricting the press or right of individuals to speak freely". So as you can see, making people wear uniforms is not against the first amendament. "2nd I am not saying that everyone has to wear clothes different everyday. 3rd Just the choice of individuality." Neither are valid reasons to prohibit uniforms. Both are biased answers. You need not clothing to express your individuality, you can do so through a variety of other ways such as art and dancing. ------------------------ Since you are so persistant, I will now list reasons why uniforms are beneficial, and shouldn't be removed. CONTENTION 1: BULLYING PREVENTION As the source I posted in previous rounds, people are bullied due to their apperance. This not only concernes their physical natural bodies, however the clothes they wear as well. With uniforms, everyone wears the same clothing, and so bullying someone for their clothes is no longer an option. So, one way that people are bullied is completly abolished. So, though it doesn't stop bullying, it weakens it in a way. CONTENTION 2: MONEY SAVING An average uniform for everything cost about 200$. [2] The average amount of clothes a household spends on clothing is roughly 2000$. Dividing this into a family of four would result in about 500$ a year. With uniforms, since the majority of the time you wear your uniform, the amount of clothes you buy becomes much less. This will end up costing less money per child so that low income families could afford clothing. Contention 3: Restricts inapropriate clothing Yes, there are already school dress codes to prevent this, however the consequences are suddel. However, uniforms are much more serious. Not wearing them could end up in suspension. So, since the consequences are severe, inapropriate clothing will be worn much less. ------------------------------------ As you can see, there is no valid reason to prohibit uniforms. They aid people in saving money, prevent bullying and even inapropriate clothing. Banning uniforms, you are irrationally banning benefits. Sources: [1]http://www.law.cornell.edu...
