A school in the<br />
Netherlands called Grafisch Lyceum<br />
Rotterdam has come under fire<br />
when they presented their idea to<br />
instate a school uniform. School<br />
uniforms aren’t typically used in the<br />
Netherlands.<br />
Why the school has decided to go through<br />
with this idea was answered by one of the<br />
staff members Attie Kruijsse. The answer<br />
was pretty disturbing. “I was watching<br />
television and saw this cool thing about<br />
school uniforms. It was super cool. So I<br />
started talking to other staff members and<br />
we all pretty much agreed. It was totally<br />
radical and tubular. That’s what the cool<br />
kids say these days right?”<br />

More Schools To Follow Suit<br />
It seems this drastic action has not gone by unnoticed. Multiple<br />
schools across the Netherlands have reported looking into making<br />
uniforms a thing too! While schools can technically make up their<br />
own rules, parents and students are in a bind. Freedom of<br />
expression through clothes has always been regarded highly, so<br />
why the change? Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam student Mitchell<br />
Wevers about the situation: “This isn’t, like, North Korea man.<br />
Or is it? Fuck it, I’m way too high for this shit.”<br />
It seems the students of Holland will have to deal with it.
