Dress Codes in School
In a 1969 Supreme Court case, Tinker vs. Des Moines, a controversy was started over students wearing black armbands to protest American involvement in the Vietnam War. From this case, and many others like it multiple school boards believe that with uniforms or stricter dress codes, the students will have better learning environments.

In the US, students have a right to a free and public education. With out depending on whether the student chooses to wear a uniform or not.

Because of a person wearing expensive clothes they're perceived as the jock' or the prep'. A person wearing black clothes is usually perceived as a gothic. Or a person wearing cowboy boots is seen as the hick' or so-called cowboy. When in reality they maybe just like you, the normal average Joe. But because we live in a world that loves to stereotype everybody and everything that's different, we
