I think this is a case there the media is flipping it and is making it into something more ---- if you read the whole article you see the kids are almost saying "if you force us to wear school uniforms, you are no better than those who forced the Hitler youth to wear uniforms"
that is asinine IMO. what about Catholic schools? are they to be compared to nazism? 
there is a way to take a stand without going to that extreme
I think Parochial schools are different in that you have to actively apply to and take tests to be accepted. It is not required to go to a parochial school. KWIM?
these 2 kids don't have to liken a uniform policy to a regime that killed 20 million people.
OH I agree that they are using an extreme image to try & prove a point. I think, more likely, is that someone watched Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and thought that they were onto something....

Me too! While my kids were in school I witnessed many things that were taken away such as their December Holiday Concert
My choral director got threatened with a law suit b/c we were to sing "From a Distance" and some parent protested forcing us to sing "God is watching us," so he had to change it to "someone is watching us." So insane.
My Dad had the hardest time believing that the schools would do away with so many things! Music, Art, concerts etc
In my kids elem.school they said a pledge entitled "Our Civil Rights" before
assembly.
