Religion is a major reason that school uniforms should not be allowed in schools. Many religions can be offended by the requirements of a school uniform. For example, a religion requiring one to cover his/her head could be in conflict with a school uniform policy banning scarves or hats. Also having to prove one’s religious beliefs and practices is discriminatory. In Texas, “The Texas Education Code allows school districts to adopt such a uniform policy only if there is an ‘opt-out’ provision for students who have bona fide religious or philosophical objections”(ACLU 1). However to be allowed to use this option, you must show some type of proof of your religion (ACLU 1). Eighteen families, whose students attend school in this district, believe it is unfair that their children must prove they are committed to their religion. Many people argue that this opt-out policy "Arbitrarily creates and singles out a class of citizens for disparate and adverse treatment” (ACLU 2). By making students prove their faith or wear school uniforms, and go against their religion can potentially be very offensive. School uniforms should not be used in schools because it can go against student's religious beliefs.
