Uniform. The bain of our lives as students. What does it achieve? Oppression. Regimentation. Suppressing our freedom to express ourselves.

School uniforms should be abolished, now.
Yes, some may say that they prevent bullying and make everyone equal. However, studies have shown that in fact wearing uniforms does not reduce bullying but 67% of students have said wearing uniforms makes them unhappy and uncomfortable.

Education is for students, let them be happy while they learn.
