Just the proposal of character education is extremely asinine. This basically gives the teacher full authority to impose their religious and ethical beliefs upon their students. And that is just plain wrong. Character education would, just like school uniforms, prevent individuality. I believe that every person should get to develop their own set of morals and beliefs. Nobody should have to have someone else's beliefs shoved down their throat and told that they have to believe it in order to be a good person. This is also why I am against organized religion. Its all just forcing people's beliefs upon others and telling them that they have to believe it or they're a horrible person. Pointless and unnecessary.

I do not take school very seriously and I know for a fact that a lot of people don't either. But really, if we were getting paid for doing good and getting good grades I'd have an entirely new outlook of school. Sure you could argue that we aren't doing good in school because we want to learn but instead make the money but honestly whether we want to learn it or not, just by doing it we'll learn it anyway. And students having this extra source of income would allow them to help out with expenses at home or help them be more financially stable when they get to college. In the end I can see no real downside to this but if you do please dispute me.

I believe that school uniforms wouldn't have a single bit of an effect on bullying or discrimination. They take away a way for students to express themselves and not being able to express their feelings in some way and I feel that in some people, that would come out as hate for other people such as the ones whom are enforcing this uniform upon them thus increasing insubordination in schools. So really a school uniform would have the opposite and undesired effect. To me a imposing a school uniform to "stop bullying and discrimination" is on the same line as painting everyone's skin the same color to be rid of racism. Absolutely pointless and a horrible thing to do.

What you have said here is proposing categorization of these books not the banning of these books which you are apparently on the side of. And a magazine isn't a book, and I don't believe for a second that a school library, which is what is in question here, would have such a magazine as Playboy.

If these cant read these books they wont understand any of the book at all thus doing no harm to their young minds. Your point is invalid.

I believe that the banning of certain books withing school libraries is absolutely ludicrous. Sure some books make use of vulgar language or talk about touchy subjects but that is no reason to ban students from reading these books. Touchy subjects need to be both written about and read by students. How else are these subjects to advance? How are they to progress and be resolved? People who want certain books banned are just trying to shield youth from potentially life changing topics. People who want books banned are the epitome of ignorance and I think that their opinions should be banned from human ears so they can feel the same way that the writers of these books would feel: like their freedom of speech has been compromised.
