In my hometown paper, they ran an article on the School Board voting on changing the dress policy. They wanted to get rid of baggie clothes, "gang colors" and such.
The paper asked parents dropping of their kids at school what they thought about it. Three different women said, "It sucks."
Not "I feel it invades my first amendments rights to dress as they want as long as it does not infrenge on his ability to get a quality education."
Or even "I hate it. It is not right"
Nope. "It sucks". In our country today, those two words have replace any type of actually conversation, any type of articulation. You don't actually have to form an opinion or defend that opinion. The dumbing down of america is given formed by two words.
