I don’t think school uniforms are a very good idea. In the article Uniforms in Public Schools and the First Amendment: A Constitutional Analysis it states that one of the biggest reasons uniforms are opposed is it takes individuality away from the kids. I agree with this because I feel everybody should be themselves, dress how they want, and do whatever makes them happy. Kids should be able to wear shirts supporting their favorite sports team, music group, tv show, etc. I’m not saying the students should dress like they work on the corners of the street, but there should be a little freedom and individuality.

I think that banning books is ridiculous. Why should students let alone full grown adults be told what they can and can't read. Its understandable if parents don't want their elementary student reading books with more mature content, but banning books from high school students? I grew up thinking I lived in a FREE country. We are suppose to have freedom of SPEECH, freedom of PRESS, freedom of RELIGION... but your going to try and tell me im not allowed to read a few certain books...? All because of what is written on little piece of paper the government or the school is going to say "Sorry bud, but you cant read this." In 1938 a book called Johnny Got His Gun was written. It was a book about a man (John) who goes to war (WW1) and on the last day of the war he is caught in an artillery explosion. When he "wakes up" he realizes he as lost arms, legs, sight, speech, and hearing. The government had this book banned because it let the public know the reality of war and how bad it is. The public has every right to know, has every right to read what they want. http://library.uttyler.edu/blog/
