I voted for the None option. I hate be authoritarian when it comes to dress, but I think that any of these things could cause problems, children in school do not have the same rights as the average person on the street as far as attire. Ideally, school uniforms would be standardized. For a few reasons this would be a good idea. Firstly, we could do a great deal to end the social stigma that the poor face when it comes to their clothing, I honestly believe this is a huge problem and detracts from learning. Secondly, to ban one political statement over another seems to be inherantly biased, I cannot support such a notion. I hate the idea of increasing the scope of govt. spending, but uniforms would have to be provided free of charge (in order to have the desired effect of achiving a level field as far as status and its relation to clothing).

It was such a horrible problem it never came up while I was in high school!

And no, I didn't live in an extremely wealthy area.

Just because you did not encounter this problem, does not mean it doesn't exist.
