I'm with D9 on this subject. At what point do you draw the line in the schools with freedom of expression would be my question.

Like you said NDD some kid could come in with a slander against the President, or other vile types of expressions in general. Dress codes are ok in my book as long as it is consistently enforced. I attended Catholic school up until the 8th grade and we all wore uniforms, it cut down on the "competition" of who was wearing what designer items or how we looked in various states of dress. Instead we all looked the same for the most part, so there was more concentration on our studies.

Then again that was also back in the day (dating myself) when discipline in school meant you got it twice as bad at home for making trouble in class. And lol...the nuns would make us girls kneel on the floor and take the ruler to measure our uniform skirts...if they were above regulation (I think it was 1 inch above our knees) we would get into some big trouble!
