Neocon, the funny thing is he probably doesn't realize that his hero Bill Clinton has been pushing for school uniforms since 94. One of the few issues I agree with him on.

The record since enacting school uniforms in the Long Beach School District have shown dramatic reductions in violence. Of course it's not a completely scientific study, due to other measures being taken at the same time, but the anecdotal evidence is pretty clear to anyone willing to put their ideological blinders aside.

Maslow was right, kids need a sense of belonging. If they can't get it at home, being part of the same social group at school could help. Uniforms help enhance this sense of belonging. Besides it's cheaper and simpler to wear uniforms.

There is so much to gain and so little to lose.
