This is a bit late, but wouldn't 2. go against schools having uniforms, of which there must be some that get federal funding?
As a general rule, I oppose school uniforms. The way I interpret the bill, it would allow students more freedom of expression.
Also, if anything I would scrap the prohibition on social or political messages, or at least modify the section to allow non-offensive speech (e.g. pro-choice versus pro-life shirts).
There's no prohibition on social or political messages. It's meant to
protect those.
"expressing opinions or beliefs during time allocated for students to speak or ask questions which do not demean or harass other students,
or wearing articles of clothing displaying a social or political message."
The second clause after the comma doesn't tie in to the first one.
And I agree with Scott that I'm against school uniforms (and they're not very common here anyways). Dress codes are usually too restrictive.
