Do school uniforms violate the 1st ammendment?

The constitution deals with citizens.

Everyone born in the United States is a citizen, regardless of their age (unless they opt to renounce their citizenship).

Besides, the Bill of Rights applies to everything within American territory, not just citizens, so the point is moot.

Unless you're a hardcore leftist authoritarian,

"Leftist authoritarian" is an oxymoron.

A private school could do whatever they wanted in terms of dress code or uniform

It may be legal, but still it's stupid.

Now that we've established that everyone hates uniforms, why do uniforms continue to be required in some American public schools?

Even in a school with only a few hundred students, you'd think you'd find at least ONE[/i] student who completely resists any attempt to be forced into compliance. In the past couple years I don't think I've heard of ANYONE[/i] anywhere in America standing up for their rights.

As a child her mother wouldn't get her fashionable clothes, and it wasn't an economic issue. She was left out of social groups and felt that appearance had something to do with that. her feeling is that children would be better socially if there wasn't differentiation based on clothes, but instead on interests.

This is a problem created by large clothing manufacturers and retail chains hawking their awful wares.

The local newspaper has a habit of praising school uniforms on its editorial page and in its so-called "news" articles. Often they run a front-page editorial disguised as "news" in which they only interview people who support uniforms. One excuse used by the newspaper to try to justify uniforms is that uniforms supposedly make things easier for poor families who can't afford the latest fashions.

Yet this same newspaper constantly carries ads by store chains pitching all the latest fashions to kids!

It's a case of first-class hypocrisy by the good ol' Republican-leaning Kentucky Post.

Why on earth should a school receive free advertising anyway?
