Wilkins, Julia. “The Answer to Violence in American Schools or a Cheap Educational Reform?”
The Humanist. 59.2 (March 1999): 19.

This is the best article I have found yet. It was written by a woman who is a special education teacher in New York. She does a great job arguing against the use of school uniforms. She explains that the use of schools uniforms doesn’t decrease violence and theft among students over designer clothing because most schools don’t care where the clothes come from. Therefore, students can still buy the designer labels. I will definitely use this article as part of my research paper even though I did think school uniforms were a good idea, but now I’m not so sure!
