School uniforms

[Seritene]

Here is my Libertarian arguement against school uniforms and why they should be banned at the world assembly.

"I believe it's very likely that forcing kids to dress alike will only help create more followers than leaders. If you become accustomed to being told what to do, then how do you handle it when you finally graduate and you're placed in an environment where you're not told what to do?"

"If everyone wears the same clothes, that doesn't transform individual students into wonderful community members with like minds and spirit. There needs to be more at work to create such "oneness," and it takes years to build such a culture"

"Punishing free expression by everyone because of the actions of a few is a bad precedence. It's not what freedom is all about."

"Implementing a school uniform program by itself reinforces the idea that simply changing what students wear will make a difference in their behavior. It's a type of "preventive law." A restriction that is supposed to stop some undesirable behavior."

If you allow people to wear whatever they want, several studies (in our nation at least) have shown students pay more attention to their clothes than to what they are learning. It also gives some of the less nice students reasons to pick on the poorer students because they can't afford the latest fashions and latest trends, and so come to school in 'last year's' clothes, and get mocked for it.

If everyone is required to dress the same, this doesn't happen. Students do not pay attention to what they are wearing, and do not get to pick on other students for what they are wearing.

We believe education should be about education, not about fashion.

I believe schools can decide, i am against school uniform, but i still think it shouldn't be completely banned.

As they obviously can't be bothered with posting the proposal they already submitted:

General Assembly Proposal
ID: seritene_1494171396

Ban School Uniforms For All WA Member States

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Seritene

School uniforms are incredibly outdated and unmodern. They restrict students ability to express themselves, are a financial burden for families and this assembly would put this 1950s tradition where it belongs, in the history books. Students that have to wear school uniforms are slaves to society and have fewer freedoms as a result. For the sake of the rights of kids everywhere to freely dress how they wish and for parents to be saved severe financial burden and hardship, this assembly would completely and totally abolish this demeaning, outdated and human rights abusing institution. Here is a further argument for abolishing school uniforms throughout the world assembly

Many countries in our assembly believe that it's very likely that forcing kids to dress alike will only help create more followers than leaders. If a child becomes accustomed to being told what to do, then how does a child handle it when him or her finally graduates and is placed in an environment where him or her is not told what to do?

If everyone wears the same clothes, that doesn't transform individual students into wonderful community members with like minds and spirit. There needs to be more at work to create such more oneness and it takes years to build such a culture

Punishing the ability to dress freely for everyone because of the actions of a few is a bad precedence. It's not what freedom is all about.

Implementing a school uniform program by itself reinforces the idea that simply changing what students wear will make a difference in their behaviour. It's a type of preventive action. A restriction that is supposed to stop some undesirable behaviour."

This assembly would advise all nations to stop abandon all school uniform programs
This assembly would help nations fix social and economic problems without having to resort to school uniforms
This assembly would suggest all wealthy nations give 0.1 percent of their gdp to the clothing and fashion industries that have suffered from uniform policies.

Yours sincerely,

The Republic of Seretine

Right now I'll just go with the bloody obvious, illegal for Branding.

So ... if everybody dresses alike it doesn't give them the "freedom" to all think alike?

Funny how you state this is your libertarian argument and then at the bottom of the article state that you think the government should give a subsidy to the fashion industry. The government picking winners and losers is the opposite of libertarian thinking.

OOC: Welcome to the GA!

I see you have a bit of an idea of how to draft proposals, but I think you may need some more help. Check out the Rules of drafting and stuff here,

You can view previously passed legislature for ideas on format, and other attributes here,

OOC: In addition to the bloody obvious, it also suffers from format failure (it's written as a letter or essay or blog rather than law) and uses conditional language (would) in place of active clauses, so I think that's a "no active clause" violation as well.

"I would love to know how something as minor as uniforms can turn someone into a slave to society. I mean seriously the people in my country aren't nearly so weak-minded as to be cowed by something as like that."

"On a more practical note, there is no way in the five hells we're going to be spending money to subsidize the fashion industry. There are far more important things to worry about."

I'm sure this is right up there with removing slavery and banning genocide.

"I know, right? Clearly the only thing stopping world peace from becoming a reality is those darned school uniforms!"

"Do you have anything constructive to say or is that it?"

"Anyway, they've already submitted it and it's already been declared illegal so we're probably beating a dead horse here, not that it really matters."

They just sent me a TG asking how they could make the proposal legal: I've directed them back to here.

Didn't work. It has been resubmitted with no changes, including the branding, that I can see.

I would like to retract my comments about subsidising the fashion industry, I have changed my mind on this issue and I think fashion works best when there is innovation and competition.
