[indent]Many students of public schools believe that school uniforms should not be introduced because it is restraining people's freedom of expression and does not create diversity. One example how uniforms restrict learners are that "without the outlet of expression in their clothes, students may turn to inappropriate hair styles, jewelry, or makeup" (Public School Uniforms). So by restricting students of their clothing choice, they will still find a way to show their personality in their hair, jewelry, and hairstyles. Soon schools will start regulating those as well and boom! The school controls everything that is offered to a child. As stated by the Public School Review, under the First Amendment, it argues that uniforms stifle children who feel robbed of their individualism. A second supporting example as to why uniforms are an awful proposal are because uniforms may not be comfortable for all students and they can not wear their uniforms outside of school, and thus, there is the double cost of both uniforms and casual wardrobe (Public School Uniforms). In school, if a child is trying to learn, but is not comfortable with the uniforms' fabric, it would cause a great burden and distraction to one's learning. Also many families are struggling in today's economy and are trying to save as much money as they can. Having to pay for regular clothes and uniforms start to add up to the family's expenses. A third example would be that uniforms create a false sense of security. According to Rashida Khilawala, "if the student gets used to being respected for their mind and not looks, the "outside world" could come as quite a surprise to them"(Khilawala). Face the truth; the "real" world can be an ugly place to live. Even if uniforms decrease violence and everyone is treated equal, the outside world does not run as orderly and smoothly as it would in a school. Of course all parents want to protect their child from any harm, but by fooling them into a safe environment, they are put at more risk then ever. Theses are some facts as to why; many children and teens are against uniforms in public schools.
