Rough draft essay on school uniforms

    "When we lose the right to be different we lose the privledge to be free."- Charles Evans Hughes. Edison school district is trying to change the policy so schools in Edison have to wear school uniforms. If we have school uniforms than we can't be who we really be. Two out of two students that have to wear school uniforms, that go to Woodbridge Middle Schools don't like wearing school uniforms for several reasons. School uniforms are not comfortable. When you wear school uniforms, you can't express who you are. You also have to spend more money. Also what if in your religion you have to wear certain clothes.
     What if someone's religion is set up so you have to wear certain clothes. Some religions you have to cover up all of your skin. Also in certain religions you have to wear other certain clothes. People who like the idea of school uniforms might say, well they should go to a diffrent school. Edison township schools are public and that is ridiculose that someone has to go to a diffrent school becouse of their religion.
     You can't express yourself! You can't wear certain clothes that represent you. You also can't support your favorite football team's jersey. Everyone looks the same so it looks almost like a military school. The school, students and the teachers can't have fun on a college shirt day. Or a school spirit day. Or a pajama day. Although you can still express yourself after your childhood, you will want to look back as a grown up and be happy about your childhood memories and the fact that you had fun. If you have school uniforms you will then look back and see bad memories of when you had to wear school, uniforms.
     You have to pay more money. What if you are poor and you can't afford school uniforms and normal clothes. People will have to extra laundry which would raise their water bill which would pay your money. Other people may say that they then couldn't get bullied. But, that is wrong because the same bully will just pick on someone else.
