School Uniforms

  “Personal liberty is the paramount essential to human dignity and human happiness.” (Bulwer) Liberty is essential for a human’s inference on uniforms.  If the government makes a law that all students need to wear uniforms, some people might like it, some people might not.  Two main reasons to not have that rule is because the students won’t have the freedom to wear what you want and for any religious reasons they won’t be able to wear anything other than uniforms. Having uniforms is not a good thing for most students, and shouldn’t be a law in any state.  When you are having law in your school that everyone needs to wear a uniform, some bad things in that choice are: the students will think it is weird to be the same, the student needed to wear anything special for any religious reason, they won’t be able to because all they would be able to wear are uniforms; and the students won’t have the freedom to wear what they want.

  “Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.”  (Dwight D. Eisenhower).  The students need freedom to wear what they want.  When students don’t wear what they want to wear, they won’t focus on school.  They will focus on how they look.  Also when they don’t get to wear what they want to school, they will feel better.  But, the opposition might say that it will be like that only for a little.  They’re wrong because even it will be for a little, they will still be really mad about it. Kids should actually have the freedom to wear whatever they want.

  “When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free.” (Charks Evans Hughes, US Supreme Court Justice, 1925)  They will think it is weird to be the same. They will feel like they are all the same.  When they are all the same, everyone gets mixed up with one another.  The opposition might say like the feeling of being the same and getting mixed up will not be for long.  But they will still get mixed up, by everyone looking the same each day.  None of the kids like to be the same.

  “The unity of freedom has never relied on uniformity of opinion.” (John F. Kennedy).  When people have to wear something religious, you can’t because you have to wear uniforms.  When people like me, have to wear something special for religious reasons, they won’t be able to because it is important.  Also, the parents would get mad that their kid can’t wear anything religious, because of the uniforms.  They might think that not everyone is going to get mad, so it is ok.  But it isn’t ok because no one should disobey religious things.  In their religion, they will not want to let the religious thing get stopped by uniforms.

  Having uniforms is not a good decision to have for three main reasons.  The students will think it is dumb when you wear uniforms that make you look the same; you want to wear something religious for a holiday, but you can’t and we won’t have the freedom to wear what we want.  Each student wants to have freedom so don’t ruin it with uniforms!
