School Uniforms
. Today we will discuss about school uniforms in the Netherlands. Should they be required at schools or not? I would like to hear from both parties whether they are favor or against. ‘
PvdA begint met het zeggen van dat ze voor zijn. Jinte – Amy

Everyone says that uniforms make students equal which will cause less bulling but has anyone ever thought about people who are forced to wear certain items, such as a head scarf, to school. They will be pulled out of school at an earlier age if they do not follow the family's religious beliefs. Not only that, all kids should be given the freedom to chose what they like rather than wearing what they do not like. We all have a right to individuality, to make personal choices and to express our personality. This right of free expression includes the way we choose to dress. Making everyone wear the same school uniform infringes on (goes against) our rights and is a misuse of authority. | Jinte: Do school uniforms help to scrap social inequalities? | Amy: Yes
Only a few inner-city schools have had problems with children wearing “gang
