Why We Should Not Have To Wear School Uniforms Be Free

Many schools have started using uniforms as a way to keep their students in line but are these uniforms necessary and helpful? Students should not have to wear uniforms.

By eliminating uniforms all together we can eliminate categorization of students and the bullying that comes with uniforms. (Suzanne
