[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Some kids I know were assaulted on metro by kids from another school. The first thing Metro police asked the victims was -- what did the school uniform look like[/b]. It helps them to know which school to chat with about student behavior.[/quote]

That makes wearing uniforms seem punitive--kids at "bad schools" need to wear one in case they're implicated in criminal mischief.[/quote]

What if that uniform made a kid a victim rather than a perpectrator?

Furthermore, why is it anybody's right to know that information?  Witnesses could give a physical description like any other assault investigations.  We stress being careful with information shared on social media because it can have IRL consequences.  Here'a piece of information being broadcast just by stepping out the door.[/quote]

Exactly the case here: both had uniforms, Metro speculated the victim's uniform made them a target, though neither had a school logo. Nonetheless, the Metro police knew the school (and grade) by the colors worn. [/quote]
