Why the war on uniforms scares 'phuyai' witlessWhy has the campaign against school uniforms, which has struck a chord only among some students, so irked the phuyai or adults in Thai society? School uniforms also nurture discipline, they argue. It is astonishing how the row over school uniforms has become so contentious, turning it into a new hotspot of social polarisation. So, how does the relatively minor debate over school uniforms fit in this bigger picture? That is why the Bad Students' campaign to abandon school uniforms strikes at the heart of these phuyai.
