How about actually tackling inequality instead of trying to hide it?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (49 children)

Education is, unironically, the best tool to combat inequality, but the effect only kicks in after the students have finished school.

In the meantime, uniforms cut down on bullying. What else do you want them to do? They don't have a magic wand, nor do they have magic money to hand out to struggling parents.

Edit: unironically some of the dumbest takes I've ever read on the internet in this thread.

In addition to the ambivalence of wearers’ feelings, there are mixed data on the impact of uniform on bullying.

Doesn’t sound like concrete evidence to me

If someone changed their mind after reading a single study, you could get them to believe anything.

That's because you're cherry picking.

"The literature identified indicates that uniforms have no direct impact on academic performance, yet directly impact physical and psychological health."

And yet most people on Lemmy base their beliefs on a single online article
