When slogans on attire and certain types of clothing become a distraction to students, schools have the right to set restrictions such as a dress code. Unlike schools with dress codes. “More relaxed dress codes may ban clothing with inappropriate slogans or offensive symbols--both of which create distractions for other students.” If your clothes disturb the learning environment around you, then the school will ban that form of attire.

Day in and day out there are schools that require students to wear a specific kind of clothing instead of letting the students have a choice. While a uniform maybe uncomfortable to some it does offer some benefits, however the freedom to choose your own clothing is a better choice as its benefits are more versatile and long lasting.
