>How do you make this thread and miss that preppy private school blazers and sexy catholic school girls in their uniforms are a thing in American media?
Because those are less than 5% of schools in America. Most Americans go to regular public schools where you can wear whatever.
> It's been proven that uniforms solve none of the issues that school administrators and school boards claim they do.
They implement discipline, uniformity and equality among children. So it doesn't matter which economic, social and racial background you come from. You dress the same as everyone else in the class. It creates a sense of community and unity. The same reason why teams in sports and competitions wear uniforms, because you're part of the same team and in it together.
>The uniforms are only about control and extracting money from parents,
You're paying money for one or two sets of clothes that you'll wear for the entire year or even following years, as long as they fit. So you're saving a ton of money on clothes. You don't have to worry about buying new trendy clothes every few months, or else risk looking "unfashionable" or "poor".
>Americans don't dress up in slacks and shirts and ties daily because we live in a country that has no history of true class or nobility
Americans used to dress in slacks, dress shirts and suits all the time until the 60s. The stopped doing that after jeans were pushed onto people by Hollywood through movie stars like James Dean and Marlon Brando as an act of "rebellion" against traditions.

And yes, globalization and America emerging as the sole superpower after WW2 did ensure that America was free to Americanize the rest of the world. So for better or for worse, the entire world wears jeans and t-shirts. The recent rise of tech giants in Silicon Valley has casualized people's dressing sense even more.
