Why?

Dress codes are:

Sexist:  Females are more often than not forced into dresses or skirts
Elitest.  Unifoms are expensive. Yes, there are programs to help
poverty line partents, but what of the working class poor?  What of
children of homeless parent (s) who reside in shelters?
Racist.  Children /parents who wish to continue celebrating their own
cultures will not be allowed to.
Anti-religous freedoms. Islam? Menonites? Orthodox Jews? Hindu? All of
these religions have laws covering clothing.
Enviromently unsound.  Manufacture of new clothing when exsisting
clothing could be ulitized. Extra useage of water and power *might* be
a factor.
Controling.  Self explanatory
Depresses creativity.  I can see where banning obscene words and
images and maybe even gang colors *might* be useful..but I'm not
convinced of that.
Fosters comformity.  No Japanese robot children needed, thank you.

Who is to judge just what clothing is 'correct'? Your idea of
'correct' clothing is not always mine.

If you insist on a dress code for children..also insist on one for
teachers as well.

Just my opinion...been there, done that
