  1. Children are parental property, supervised by the state. They should have no "rights". The parents and state share a responsibility to ensure the health and well-being of offspring. School uniforms are good to make the point: school is not "fun with friends time", it's OBEY time. If you obey your teachers instructions, your education proceeds apace; otherwise, less so. I, personally, have an issue with oaths, and don't think it's necessary for schools to compromise their authority by behaving stupidly in requiring students to compromise their own principles in the service of indoctrination.
