      So I take it you believe children should also not be forced to wear school uniform, right? They are not our accessories.

      No. Kids aren't intended to express their parents or their own values at school in their clothing. A standard can apply.

      How is a school uniform a "standard"? Why are you imposing your "standards" on children by forcing them to dress a certain way?

      Dress codes are a part of society & vary from institution to institution. In schools, smart & practical & age appropriate is needed.

      Lol! Why is a tie needed? Why should millions of kids be forced to wear a tie. They are not your accessory, stop imposing things on them.

      Smartness. I'm not arguing that all dress codes are wrong so pointing out that I only object to some is not a 'gotcha.'

      No, You said kids are not our accessories, they are human beings, no one should force things onto them. Why does we force a tie on them?

      No, I'm not claiming that. I understand that you thought I was but I have now clarified so no point in continuing to argue against it.

      Yes, you were claiming that. You might not have meant to claim that, but that is what your tweet claimed. Thanks for clarifying.

      If I read your words this way, I can show why its wrong! Let me clarify my meaning. No, I really want to argue against what you didn't mean.
