Thugs in school

[KevinTheOmnivore]

I agree with Chimpy. I think I could agree with Blanco's platform, while perhaps adding a few things, and removing one thing.

Uniforms don't work, they are a psychological pleasantry for parents and staff. I've known too many thugs and drug dealers who went to private Catholic schools, and when those uniforms come off, they are just like verybody else their age. They don't wear the uniforms when they're buying drugs on the corner, they're not wearing uniforms when they're parents aren't home to care, NOT because they are necessarily bad parents, but b/c they work two fucking jobs just to get by.

Kids find ways to make uniforms unique, too. How long is the skirt? What about hats? What about patches? Many schools with uniforms allow their students to be slightly flexible with the clothing, and those differences mean the WORLD when everybody is dressed the same.
