School district abolishes fascist uniform policy

The Evil Empire has been dealt a harsh blow in Gadsden, Alabama.

On Tuesday, the city's board of education voted to abolish its mandatory school uniform policy. See, there may yet be hope for Alabama.

What's amazing though is that the policy had been in force since 1996! This blatantly unconstitutional dress code went 14 years without being struck down in a lawsuit? That, my friends, is downright shocking.

The lack of a lawsuit doesn't say a lot for the strength of civics education in today's schools, does it?

The uniforms are being abolished because parents are worried about finding proper uniforms and the added cost.

A lot of things were wrong in America in 1996. Workers' rights were gutted, civil liberties were trampled, corporate power was expanding, and the drug war was growing at a record clip. But the lack of school uniform requirements was not a problem. Those who advocated mandatory uniforms did nothing but waste everybody else's time.
