Do you think school uniforms are a form of authoritarianism? (sh.itjust.works)

Seems very much like indoctrination to get kids to "fall in line" and enforced conformity, to try to remove independent thinking.

I've always hated the idea of that. What do you think about it?

I was vaguely aware of them being a thing elsewhere as a kid. Back then someone even thought they were cool because of Harry Potter films. Never thought of it as authoritarianism, just pointless.

But now that you say it, placing restrictions to make people look the same is kind of authoritarian.
