MODERATORS
How about actually tackling inequality instead of trying to hide it?
Education is, unironically, the best tool to combat inequality, but the effect only kicks in after the students have finished school.
In the meantime, uniforms cut down on bullying. What else do you want them to do? They don't have a magic wand, nor do they have magic money to hand out to struggling parents.
Edit: unironically some of the dumbest takes I've ever read on the internet in this thread.
There is enough magic money to distribute if France (and every other country) would tax the rich.
