School uniforms should be banned
First of all, school uniforms restricts a student"s right to express themselves. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." [1] Yet, some schools still enforce students to wear clothes that mostly represent their school, but not their students themselves. Also, in several Supreme Court cases such as Tinker v. Des Moines (1969) , the Supreme Court ruled in a 7-2 favor that "It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate" [2] which other cases had similar decisions as well. Therefore, uniforms should be considered a boundary to an individual"s personality and identity. [1] https://www.law.cornell.edu... [2] http://www.uscourts.gov...
