      "I'm thinking about having all our female contributors in uniforms here, Factor uniforms"

      Funny, I thought there already was a uniform: blonde and brainless.

        Good idea ... bad reason.

        Uniforms encourage kids to stand out thru their success rather than their clothing.

        I suspect 'short skirts and low necklines' would be the order of the day.

        BTW, since I had uniforms in Catholic School, there obviously isn't, in my experience, much difference between being in 'street clothes' and uniforms. (though there is a fetish for schoolgirl uniforms)

        A "Factor Uniform", That would even make Hugh Hefner Blush.
        For Bill O'Reilly likes to Demean his Women and see their Hearts Crushed.
        I have thought about trying to meet Mr. O'Reilly in Person but that is a Long Bet.
        Besides it would be so much easier to just turn on my Computer and Click Next on Chat-Roulette.

        Speak truth to power.

      The generation before they were in their (white) hoods they dressed in these school uniforms.

      We don't really have a "hood," here, so I'm not sure that your point is valid, Bill. Most of the kids dress about the same.

      As far as the comment about female contributors in uniforms . . . you are a sexist, condescending jerk. I might add that this comment could be construed as discrimination based upon gender. Haven't you learned anything, Bill?

        I was talking to some teenagers want to be gangbangers.I showed them a picture while covering the faces in the picture with my hand.The people in the picture apeared to be wearing gang colors red and black,in gang style.I asked them what gang they thought the people in the picture belonged to.All of them were quite sure they knew.All of them were wrong.It was a picture of people dressed out at a KluKluxKlan meeting.I told them thugs been wearing uinforms,and their colors for a long time.And if they wore their colors there was no difference.

      So we want them to dress like little wannabe gang-members? I say, where a uniform or go to a school that doesn't require you to wear one. You know, a private school. Aw, but you want the government to flip the bill but you just don't want to abide by the rules.

          I love all people. I just think minors under 18 need some discipline. I also think it is unfair that rich kids get to come to school wearing the greatest and latest fashions while the poor kids are identified as "poor" because they dress in hand-me-downs. With uniforms, people will be judged for who they are, not how they dress!

          You and your racecards crack me up.

            Oh please. You only comment to rant about immigrants (I still remember that time you linked to the LAPD's most wanted and claimed they were all illegals, but really they were just mostly Latino- way to expose your agenda, there, guy) or find some other racial axe to grind (you're the only person left in the hemisphere still actively defending those moronic Kambridge Kops). Sorry, I'm not gonna believe you "love all people" when you refer to kids "dress[ing] like little wannabe gang members", although
            I just think minors under 18 need some discipline.

                Again, I don't see any reference to their immigration status. I see that they're Latinos, and you're just assuming that means they're illegal immigrants which (again) proves you've got a li'l race problem there.

                People are still people. When people talk before they think, they can say stupid and derogatory

                Savage has a point. Every neighborhood that illegals have migrated to has gone down the tubes. My birthplace of Van Nuys, CA is like "little Mexico" now. Shootings, rapings, pillaging, drive-by's, grafiti,
                prostitution, drugs, (you know, all the things that go along with the Mexican-illegal population. Even

                Then why is it that every one of these Mexican populated areas crime-ridden? Really, all P.C. aside,

                prisons filled with Mexicans? P.C. aside. See, nothing ever gets done because everybody is afraid to
                talk about these things.

                I don't have to agree with someone in order to value free speech. Sure, Imus et. Al. say some nasty
                comments; however, unless you can diminish his listenership or his value, your barking up the wrong
                tree. If Hillary were black, you could resort to using Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. Unfortunately, they

                If Kilmeade had known the P.C. police were going to take him out of context, he should have rephrased
                his statement in a more P.C/B.S. way. What he is saying might be correct though: research
                done in Sweden might have no correlation to research done in the United States because the United
                States is a much less limited gene-pool. MMFA inferred that he was somehow saying one was
                greater than the other.

            Believe it or not,poor kids wear expensive clothes to school more than rich kids.It is often children of parents with money whose kids bug them about getting the latest fasions.Because that is the way the poor childrsn's parents dress them trying to make them look rich.It is often the children of people with money who wear hand me downs,Because those parents are often more pratical with their money.Kind of strange both groups trying to look like each other.

      There are some good arguments to make for enforcing uniforms in schools. I say this as a woman who went to private Catholic schools since preschool (uniforms since Kindergarten). It's often cheaper for parents. Less of a chance of the dorky kids getting mocked for what they're wearing. Like Grey Path said, it emphasizes success through ability over wardrobe.

      This is just... gah. I don't have any intelligible words for it. Just... gah.

      I agree with O'Reilly. They're not learning in many inner city schools. Actually they need up to militarily style discipline if that's what it takes to remove the climate of intimidation in order to give the interested students a chance.

      This is a coded racist coments.All school childern do not come from "the hood".Most school children will dress as crazy as they are allowed to.And when not some will sneak and change clothes after they leave home for school.Bill O'Reilly probably had something cool he wanted to wear to school that his parents did not allow bot he sneaked and wore it anyway.This is a matter that is not about race,although Bill O'Reilly is trying to make it be.

        I disagree. However I don't see O'Reilly often so I'm only going by the clip. I notice a distinct distaste for O'Reilly here - only rivaled by the right wing boards I've seen. Maybe if you're a regular viewer, you're catching things that predispose you and others against him - I don't know.

        O'Reilly's apparent singling-out of the inner city schools is appropriate given their relatively low average scores on standardized tests, IMO.

          The biggest reason I have seen for low test scores is they have reading problems.Problems that have been known for years but students who can not read are allow to go to school for years with people pretending not to notice.This includes teachers.parents,and the people who say public schools need to be closed.It makes no diference where they go to school.If you do not make sure they know how to read you have the same problems.I went to high school that was not in the hood.There were students in the national honor society,not from the hood not able to pass the graduation exam.Because they could not read.But they were honor students.

            "students who can not read are allow to go to school for years with people pretending not to notice. This includes teachers.parents,and the people who say public schools need to be closed."

            Teachers suffer from the atmosphere of intimidation also, not the students alone.

            Teaching reading is an awful big part of what schools do in the lower grades. And it's an awful big part of being able to do a lot of jobs and get along generally.

            Since reading is so critical, I agree, perhaps they should better physically segregate the earlier grades from the older ones -- separate buildings and preferably not proximate to the higher grades.

      School uniforms would just be another type of gang uniform. If you want to argue that uniforms level the playing field within the scool fine but this is a stupid argument for uniforms. I thought righties were into individuality?
