We could debate the pros and cons of uniforms for days but there are some undebatable disturbing facts that should be corrected.

We think we've come a long way in aiding in child development but from what I see kids are far worse off today. Going postal with guns in schools, running around in gangs willing to kill each other, and innocent bystanders, for nothing more than wearing the wrong color cloths and having absolutely no respect for themselves and others.

We bitched because Bush refused to except that his plan for Iraq was not working and wanted to "stay the course" yet we are guilty of refusing to except that regardless of what physiologists think our kids are in trouble. What we are doing is not working and needs to be reevaluated.

We can lay the blame on parents, and to some degree it's true, but in reality I believe it is the liberal society we live in. We try and treat kids as adults when they aren't. We empower them with Rights which they have yet to earn and so don't understand.

I've heard the excuse that it's because today both parents are forced to work leaving kids to fend for themselves. To that I say BS. Both my parents worked as did the parents of most my friends and none have suicidal tendencies or postal tendencies. Plian and simple it's a lack of moral teaching. Kids today don't really understand right and wrong in the sense most of us do. To them Right is something given to them at birth and wrong is only a matter of your view of the Constitution.

By treating kids as adults they now expect the same rights and see themselves as equals. I'm sure some of you liberals are saying well it's true. I say pat yourself on the back for being the major problem in our society. You've done what liberals do best.
