But but... They need them uniforms! They definitely need to be taught that their identity doesn't matter from a young age. How else would we get a society that obeys authority?

Clothes are inherently classful. Kids should not have to worry about class and what others think of what they wear and whatnot. Therefore, it's totally a good idea to rip away this freedom! In fact, I have an even better idea! Let's make all citizens of the country wear "citizen uniforms"! That way, there would be no class. No one would have to worry about what they would have to wear to work today if that choice didn't exist in the first place! Such a bright idea, no?

It is totally not draconian to tell others what to wear on their body (unless they wear clothing that can cause legitimate harm). Right? RIGHT?
