Chris, I disagree. A major part of growing up is finding out who you are. That is largely accomplished through creativity and self-expression. How you dress is sometimes a large part of that process. Forcing a dress code on kids will not eradicate class pressure in terms of status and disruptions. Limiting creativity and self expression will not keep repressed reprobates like the kids in Colorado from doing untold damage on unsuspecting students. finding ways to enhance creativity and self expression may give these kids enough of a release to keep them from one day exploding.

><>...Chris...><> You said: I would never trust the (ACLU)Anti Christian Liberties Union for advise on anything I suppose you said that because of your misunderstanding of my intent in the following. I said: These kids in the trench coats at Columbine High would have been truant if such a mandate was in place. The ACLU is already got a committee of their wise ones working on that issue any way. Meaning that they are high on the tails of those mandating them to stop mandating the dress code, as it is a violation of self expression , loosely translated ...Freedom of speech! The studies you talk about are grossly flawed. The more regulations and mandates we have in this country...the more people will rebel! A free Govt. keeping it's long arms out of our personal dress code is the least we can ask! Dress codes are fine for places like Russia, china, and Japan. Dress codes? Give me a break! That is almost as bad and ignorant and argument as gun control!...We already have a zillion controls on guns. They don't work! And neither will dress codes. BTW dress codes were only mandated so as to keep the poor people from not feeling they were different, i.e...no pressures on less wealthy parents to but brand clothing.... Dress codes are just another socialistic idea, To make everyone alike! It doesn't, and won't work!! Not everyone is alike...!! And some people have more money than others...just a fact of life...And dress codes certainly will not stop violent crime! Please give me a break....where has common sense gone? Have to go Shalom...><>
