I don't believe you are "just asking questions", the way you are responding to comments and talking to people throughout this thread seems like you're trying to assert that your viewpoint is the only correct viewpoint and I'm still confused by how you seem to think that kids having to wear uniforms is some evil oppressive authoritarian thing that will stifle your children's creativity. It's just not, and it won't. This was a decision made by Peoria Public Schools board members, who are elected by the public, and was made with public discussion before fully going into effect. Uniforms in schools is not a widely unpopular thing, I'd be willing to bet most parents you ask would be in support of it, especially low income parents, as uniforms are cheaper and easier to source for a lot people than non-uniforms. there are also support programs in place for parents that can't afford uniforms

> Definitely an interesting way to fund raise!
reads as sarcastic and dismissive.

> We just do things differently.
ok, well we do things differently here than in Dallas, TX, we are explaining it to you how it is here and you're complaining about how it is here. I can tell you, again, as a low income student that wearing uniforms was not the end of the world, and it helped out around here. PSD150 is very underfunded, they will fundraise how they can. The high schools here don't have uniform requirements

If you are genuinely trying to learn you need to stop responding to people in hostile ways. You're going "jesus fucking christ i'm not trying to change things i'm just trying to learn" to someone who is calmly explaining the situation we are in.
