Why This Lone Dutch<br />

School Decided To Make<br />

Students Wear<br />

Uniforms<br />

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 />

UNIFORMS: YES OR NO?<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.
