<<<Schools who institute dress codes will back me up on this.>>>

I will also back you up on that. Countries like Japan will back you up on that and so will many others. Many times gangs use clothing in schools as a means of identifying themselves. This causes undue pressures and hardships to those who must fit into the mode or be ostracized. Kind of rough for the person who wears a red bandanna that has to share English class where the majority wear black head bands! I don't have the results in front of me but it has been proven that it causes the adrenaline to rush which in turn causes a disruption in concentration. In other words it's to hard to stay focused on the academics. Requiring a dress code where everyone looks the same also helps in preventing certain social status walls from being raised in the minds of students. It's hard to tell who is rich or who is poor when every student dresses the same. It's also harder to play hookey where the town you live in recognizes a certain dress code.

There have been studies after studies to prove the validity of dress codes and I would never trust the (ACLU)Anti Christian Liberties Union for advise on anything.
