I swear this is the worst year ever for this school uniform horseshit. (Thanks a zillion, wingnut politicians.)
According to WXIX-TV (Channel 19), this right-wing tyranny has come to Cincinnati now too, as Western Hills High School has reportedly implemented mandatory uniforms. Even if Channel 19 had this story online, I'm not linking to it, because it was the most biased story I've seen on any TV station in as long as I can remember. (Channel 19 has a long record of right-wing one-sidedness.)
It's unknown how many other public schools in Cincinnati require uniforms, or if there are any, but there are certainly some schools in surrounding areas that require it.
Incidentally, I don't think Cincinnati high school students are limited to attending a certain school based on the part of town where they live (which is highly unusual for any American locale). Thus, students won't automatically be affected just because they live nearest to this particular school. But because Cincinnati's high schools are specialized according to students' interests, uniforms greatly limit options for any student who dares to oppose standardized attire.
