At Monday’s student council meeting, the officers debated about whether or not students should be required to wear uniforms. Barbara, president of the senior class, stated that as an elected representative of the students, she wouldn’t vote to change the dress code without a clear recourse from the students calling for such a change. “Personally,” she said, “I think that forcing people to wear certain clothing robs them of their autonomy. What is school supposed to teach us, if not the ability to think and act independently? Besides,” she added, “the school administration is bureaucratic enough. We don’t need any more rules and regulations.”

Ray, vice-president of the junior class, disagreed. “The current situation is tantamount to a three-ring circus,” he said. “Students compete to see who can look most clownish. Some of the outfits are nearly blinding. Other kids are such snobs about their ostentatious designer clothes that they ostracize kids who can’t afford to keep up with them. I’m not saying that uniforms would change the school into a(n) utopia No place is perfect. I just think that if we want school to be more fair, our best mandate is a strict dress code.”

At that, several students burst into raucous disagreement, yelling and pounding on their desks. After several minutes of vociferous chaos, the meeting came to order, and Barbara was called on again.

Tenacious in her opinion, she insisted, “I understand what you’re saying, Ray, but I want to reiterate a point I made earlier. Uniforms do away with one aspect of personal choice, and one of my tenets is that personal choice is precious.”
