as i was looking thorugh this

as i was looking thorugh this article i noticed that there is no answer from Mr Kinsey on the uniforms issue , did he not answer or did the writer of this article not include that answer for some reason?

In regards to the school

In regards to the school uniform issue, please let me explain. I think it should be the responsibility of the parents to determine how their children dress as long as they stay within the school's dress code guidelines. When I was growing up my parents were my ultimate authority. Somehow, over the years, I feel we are losing that connection of the parents to their children. I worry that parents are being relegated to the sidelines. Unless there is a clear problem with discipline and uniforms are determined to be the only solution, I can see no reason to even cross that bridge. Don't we have enough problems to solve? I am concerned that government (federal & state) is growing bigger and more intrusive every day and I want to maximize our personal freedoms in every way possible. I think that government bureaucrats and officeholders often find solutions to problems that don't exist - I don't want the local school board to fall into that trap.
