School uniforms are worthless

By William R. Toler

As anyone who reads this blog knows, I am completely against school uniform policies.

Supporters of these stringent policies that turn all of our children into look-alike robots, purport that uniforms help keep order and children behave better.

Pat Whitford, the head football coach at Pamlico County High School once told me that he could see a difference in the attitudes of students with the policy in place.

While I respect Mr. Whitford and his opinion, I will have to respectfully disagree with him on that point.

While I was wondering the halls of the labyrinth that is Pamlico County High School today, to drop off the fee of my upcoming class reunion, I was the recipient of some rather lude comments made by students waiting for the final bell to ring.

To me, this only proves one thing: put khakis and a solid-colored polo shirt on a jerk…and he’s still a jerk.
