Wasn't there a time, not that long ago, when student protests were, you know, about something? In New York City's legendary Stuyvesant High School, kids are bucking the administration en masse and taking on another critical issue: dress codes. They fought back hard recently at new regulations in a campaign they called "Slutty Wednesday," during which they wore risque outfits to school and passed around flyers that said "Redress the Dress Code." Edgy!
Some of the draconian rules the brave students are protesting require, according to The New York Times that any sayings and illustrations on clothing should be in “good taste.” Another calls for shorts, dresses and skirts to extend at least beyond the fingertips when arms are extended straight down. A third bans the exposing of “shoulders, undergarments, midriffs and lower backs.”
“We work our asses off here and school is about learning. Clothing is not important,” ninth grader Lucy Greider told The New York Post. Some of the boys protested the new rules as well, claiming offense that the administration assumed they were unable to control themselves in the presence of girls in short skirts, and definitely not because they want to see girls in short skirts. So what do you think about "Slutty Wednesday?"

Repression of expression leads to weird outlets of expression. Force a kid to conform to the stupid stuff, and they WILL have to find a way to express all their stresses in life in a different way. They are supposed to express who they are and have outlets for all the crap they have to deal with. Try to cram them in a little box, and it will come out in something actually harmful to them. A little more lattitude wouldn't kill anyone. A little less just might.
Uniforms help eliminate the socioeconomic differences and the inevitable competitions between classmates and cliques as long as they are kept to an affordable level. That being said maybe a review of dress codes needs to have an open forum including school, parents and students every few years?

I'm an Artist and a Computer Geek(professionally) I am all for self expression/realization....but one needn't dress like a slut to achieve that.
Doesn't change the fact they were out earning your average middle aged bible thumper by 10s of thousands of dollars. Your valllueess just don't pay the bills darling.
Sagging and stretching can be corrected via Vaginoplasty. Unfortunately for the middle class valluesss crowd, medical science has yet to find a cure for stupid, although repeated blows to the afflicted's head with blunt objects will shut them up.
