School uniforms promote a more classless society. In retrospect I definitely would have favored them. Of course they should be unisex.

Only when the kids' parents can afford the uniforms, which has historically been used to divide the poor from the middle and upper classes.

“What is a speed suit? Only the perfect habilitant for the science minded man, who knows both comfort and ease and demands them from his clothing. In a speed suit you say to the world: ‘Look out! I know what I’m wearing for the rest of my life!'” — Dr. Venture
