Thanks @Andrew071117,
REBUTTAL:
Due to lack of characters, I am not going to copy and paste the entire argument.
- Many students don't focus on others clothing and instead focus on their own individual selves. In fact, most students are busy distracted on their phones, computers, etc, instead of actually paying attention to their class.
- How will a student be safer? Uniforms will not guarantee that a student will not bring a gun to school.
- Saving a few minutes of time picking out an outfit is not worth taking someone's right of free speech. Further, many enjoy picking out their own clothes in the morning or night time.
- Uniforms don't show any increase in the education of students, meaning this focus Is going somewhere else or they just aren't understanding.
Argument 1:
Uniforms don't improve education
Uniforms don't actually do anything for the education of the students. According to
Norwichbulletin, "Uniforms do not improve academics, behavioral and social outcomes, or reduce discrimination or crime, according to many educators and experts. Studies do not report any improvements in these areas. In fact, uniforms may even make rebellious students worse. They alter the uniforms by tightening, widening, shortening, or lengthening them."
Argument 2:
Violation of civil rights
Uniforms disregard free speech, privacy, and freedom of religion. Many school uniforms support girls in skirts, however many different religions such as being Islam don't allow wearing skirts at such lengths. There are many different skirts at lengths unacceptable for certain religions.
As for freedom of speech, The First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees that
all individuals have the right to express themselves freely, having uniforms would take away their rights.

Argument 3:
Bullying or teasing still occurs
Uniform or not, there will always be something for students to bully another student. Uniforms just present other peoples insecurity's even more leaving them exposed to bullies.

Almost every debater here uses sites to back up their knowledge or prove points. My points are sometimes used from my common knowledge after that, I simply just find evidence from other websites supporting my claims.
As for using Wikipedia, I tend to avoid it 99.9% of the time.
I mean why you not just do what you remember and look up other websites like wikipedia
Elaborate?
I would appreciate that.
As in regards to your vote, thank you. I was initially going to provide the cost, however ran into a problem with the lack of characters the debate allowed.
Would you both like the resolution name to be fixed?
why you do research like my essay
