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 dont know why there making us wear uniforms i live in a white neighborhoods and the board is saying that we cant express the way we love to dress because of gang present. if we don't even have gangs. Then they are saying we cant wear colored shoes or laces now thats too much for a quiet neighborhood.Plus they think we in gangs when they teached us D.A.R.E and G.R.E.A.T

I think that schools shouldnt have kids wear uniforms because, kids all around the world love to express who they are buy wearing different clothes weither it has to do with goth, punk, hip, preppy or just comfortable. I dont think that kids should get made in from of by what they wear I think that I kid should have there own freedom in school about what to wear and how they want themselves to look.

i think that the law is stupied about not letting us wear what we wanna wear. the ones who agree with the uniform only do it because of the safety of their chilldren but then again why do you dress ur son or daughter better than others. so to be trufull its the law and we have to do it weither we or not so deal with it
