Waukegan High School Dress Code

[Danno]

School is also the place where the next actors, writers, artists, politicians, inventors, designers and and musicians are trained. School uniforms send a clear early-life message to students that conformity is
important and creativity is not, that authority is allowed to abuse it's power and constrain our constitutional right to free speech and expression. Students learn from uniforms that their individuality,
political opinions and religious rights are unimportant, as is their education: students are regularly suspended for non compliance to the uniform code even if their school work is excellent. If
uniform-requiring schools were actually in 'the business of learning' this would not occur.

Well, isn't that special! Advice from a costume designer/Ph.D, who now lives and works in San Francisco. http://myprofile.cos.com/TheCostumer I wonder what her position on the wearing of American patriotic garb by students, at Live Oak High School in California,on cinco de mayo(May 5,) is? Because the radical administrators running that school decided that it would offend some students on that day, and demanded that they turn their shirts inside out or leave. Talk about revising our Constitution! They are already in the process, through the institutional indoctrination of our children. You have to wonder, who these high school administrators parents were?

Yes, the constitutional revisionist boogie man is out there. Do you even realize that we Americans are not and never were endowed with unlimited freedom of expression in all places? Do you think a public school is the equivalent to the public square in terms of free expression? Do you think indoctrination of children is something new or did you simply agree with the indoctrinations of the past because they aligned with your own beliefs?
