You need to understand that  Virginia Draa is Dr. Brunsma in drag---she is the ONLY  pro-uni expert with ANY credentials---but she is WRONG as I have told her earlier.   She PROMISED to debate with me   a year ago during her summer vacation---but then refused. I have challenged her to explain the downsides of PARENT opt-out at urban schools---but she can't or won't. I DO concede that in some gang-infested URBAN schools (NOT the place where most of the fights are underway in NJ & Pa now), there MAY be some advantages to a uni program as she claims ---as long as  PARENT opt-out by RESPONSIBLE parents (yes, there ARE a few there) is allowed./gpk

Good for you. I myself am doing some research so that I can use the proper wording when I file my Application for exemption here in Texas. I've pulled up a lot of cases to see who has won and who hasn't and figured out why. Mostly finding out that there is no real evidence that uniforms have done what they were suppose to do because when uniforms were implemented, so were other things - change of school programs, different standards throughout the school, new directions from teachers and administrations, etc....

When I pull up studies, they seem to be old. It seems that this fad of instituting uniform policies is loosing attention while schools are still implementing it as a bandaid to the problem. However, there are some of us parents out there that still feel that we as parents should decide what our children wear, that we as parents have that right and that no government should tell us how to dress, that we as parents have the right to teach our children right from wrong, and more importantly, that we as parents have the right to instruct, model, and encourage our children.

Uniforms should always be optional to those parents who want their kids to wear them, but should not infringe on other's rights. And also, we should not just label our children as bad before they have done something wrong. Supposedly uniforms should solve the gang and violence problem.

Anyway, good luck.
