That public schools should enforce uniforms
Before i begin allow me to provide the following definitions: Enforce: to enact a mandate. Should: Moraly or logicly right. Also the affirmative has the burden of proving how enforcing uniforms is benifitial on balance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cont 1: Uniforms will affect the education of the poor. When asking for students to dress a certain way in order for them to attend that school would definately hurt the poor. Education might be hurt or even loss due to the fact that money is a big problem. The negative believes that everyone should be given the opportunity to learn regardless of how they look,dress, or even how rich or poor they are. Cont 2: Uniforms restrics and decreases freedom. In school we are not allowed to retain some of our basic rights such as the freedom of speech or press ect.. If we enforce uniforms, surely we are taking away the freedom of creativity. Some people dress how they feel, or what they belive in. Some dress for a special someone or to enact what has happend to them. Its like adjusting what you wear to who you are. Cont 3: Uniforms go agaisnt the idea of diversity. When switching to uniforms we are reliving the past. We wanted only one race to rule: the whites. (KKK). When switching to uniforms, we first would need someone to decide what the uniform should be. When that person decides what the uniform is,then he enacts it. This is wrong for two reasons. First, the person who decides would have too much power on his hands. Second, the person who enacts the decided uniforms is saying that his decision is right and no other forms of clothing may be chosen. Cont 4: Uniforms do not solve our current problems. Some might say that enacting uniforms would help prevent discrimination by clothing and other such. Thats not true because some decide to alter the uniforms by either slight effects or major ones. Uniforms itself is a style so yes, judging still happens. For these four reasons i urge a negative vote.
