The principal announces that the school is implementing uniforms, and Ian finds himself caught in a conflict. His friend Julia wants him to devise a plan to fight the decision, and the principal is determined to convince Ian the uniforms are a good idea. Ian wants nothing to do with the issue. While doing research for a social-justice class, he learns that the manufacturer of the uniforms is on the top-ten list for human-rights violations. When he tells the principal this, all he gets is a reminder that the penalty for refusing to wear the uniforms is suspension, and Ian finds himself caught in a whole new conflict—one with himself.

Also available in French.

Book Description:

What's really behind a label?

From the Back Cover:

"There are many causes for which I am prepared to die, but none of which I am prepared to kill," Mr. Roberts said. "Does anybody know who said that?" When the school principal announces a new uniform policy, Ian is pressured to fight the decision. His best friend Julia is determined to get him to protest the policy, but the principal is equally determined to convince Ian uniforms are a good idea. Ian wants nothing to do with the issue-at first. Then he discovers information that makes it impossible to not choose sides-no matter what the consequences might be.
