And new laws and national policies are being proposed that aim at minors and juveniles. It makes little or no accommodation for the needs or frailties of an individual child. Society makes policies based upon broad principles. Society does the same when it creates law. And the laws and policies being aimed at our teens deny them many of their constitutional liberties.
Law gives little attention to a teen's personality and individual situation.
The way you dress often expresses your personality and something about you. It is a form of creative self-expression. The call for school uniforms is more than a call for conformity or a pretense at economic equality. And in campaign promises just before the election, the president pledged that he would seek a national policy that requires states to impose drug tests on teens who apply for a driver's license. So what, teens don't have many rights, anymore.
