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 kids in public schools should not have to wear uniforms because they cost to much in the first place and second the kids will always try and find ways around it. I just think," What is the point?"

I think that students shouldn't have to wear uniforms! We should be happy that we express the way we look and feel. Nobody(Beside our parents) should tell us what to wear. Us people express our mood by dressing the way we do!^-^
