I would like to know why people are voting Aye or Nay here. Can we have some input? It seems like a good amendment.

"school rules that are not in place for a political purpose" basically undermines the whole idea of the bill since almost any school rule could be interpreted as fitting this requirement, and what "political purpose" means is quite vague.

Do you have an idea of different wording to achieve the same goal?

I don't see why we need to ban school uniforms.

I don't see why we need to ban school uniforms.

This bill would only apply to schools which receive federal funding. School uniforms only function to impose conformity and stifle freedom of expression. If parents want their kids to dress like everybody else, private schools will remain an option.

That's most schools, many of which have school uniforms. There isn't a big detriment to uniforms nor has such a significant change gotten the debate it needs, so let the teachers decide.

The point of this bill, as I understand it, is to let the students decide for themselves how they dress, within reason of course. There should still be standards of decency, but provided the clothes don't abberate from that, there isn't a big detriment to letting students decide what to wear for themselves.

Nay

School uniforms, wow this is like Atlas from ten years ago.

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Nay

This amendment has enough votes to fail. Senators have 24 hours to change their vote.

I will say at least from my own anecdotal observations, though it may be different abroad, very few schools (in RL America and by extension Atlasia) that receive federal funding have uniforms. Almost all schools that use uniforms are private -- the culture around school uniforms is just different here.

[Joseph Cao]

Nay.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

With three votes in favor, eleven opposed, and four people not voting, the amendment fails.

Debate resumes.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Motioning for a final vote again.

EDIT: Counting this as the 24-hour post

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I'm opening a final vote in 24 hours barring an objection.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

A final vote is now open. Senators, please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.
