I`ve never understood the point behind school uniforms for students - a uniform for teachers I could understand, though...
What'd be the point? Public school teachers are all paid less than folks of comparable skill levels, so unless they're married to a licenced professional, they're all poor. The teacher's uniform already exists: J.C. Penneys sweaters and slacks, Wal-Mart underwear and socks, belts from the Dollar Tree. Public school students, on the other hand, come from a variety of backgrounds, and they're the one's for whom the schools exist. And they're the ones in that age-demographic most likely to distract one another with taunts, especially if one's father's income is demonstrably less than another's, as evidenced by the clothes worn. Needless to say, they all know they're better off financially than their instructors, so there's no point in trying to equalize the faculty by virtue of a dress code. That said, I'm no fan of school uniforms either, although I wouldn't call it fascist. fascism by definition involves a political movement, so I guess the first option fits slightly better, though neither fit exactly. And most real fascists are both Italian and dead anyway.
