Let students wear their own clothes more often in schools.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

All schools must have 3 or more days per week where students can wear their own clothes instead of the uniform.
Schools have a strict uniform policy where students aren't allowed to express themselves. We aren't allowed to paint our nails, dye our hair and wear our own clothes. Schools may have a couple of days where students can where their own clothes but that's usually 2 days per year and it's unfair.
