	Point of View: School Uniforms http://www.aclu.org/congress/uniform.html
	This policy piece by the American Civil Liberties Union argues against the use of school uniforms and favors other student-recommended investments in school systems. In addition to discussing the constitutionality of uniforms, it generally reviews the evidence that ties these policies to decreased school violence and the general unwillingness to impose it on teenagers who prefer to express themselves through fashion.
