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.

i think that all schools should have to wear uniforms. if we all had uniforms then we wouldnt have to spend so much time in the morning getting ready and trying to find out what we want to wear. also so many people always get introuble for what they wear. if we had uniforms then there will be no need to get introuble. also no one would get made fun of for what they wear. school should be a place where you learn, not to be a competition with other people and clothes

It's not fair we have to wear uniforms. It's a waste of money. We should be able to dress how we want to.
