Question: Is it constitutional for a PUBLIC school to enforce a school uniform such as Khaki pants and white shirts?

Answer: Yes. The Arizona Court of Appeals has ruled that a public school's mandatory student uniform requirement did not violate students' freedom of speech or any other civil liberty. Federal courts in other states have also upheld student uniform policies.

We learned that the federal gov. has to pay for states to enforce federal laws so wouldn't it be fair for schools to have to pay for uniforms that are required by them. It isn't voluntary so the school should have to pay for them, or at least help in their cost. Families should not have to pay for something that is being forced on them by the public school.
