## Resource

Act Party’s bold plan to slash school uniform costs by limiting state schools to just three branded items could save families up to $250 per kid a year, ending the inflated prices forced by single-source suppliers. With no educational value in paying triple for logo socks, Act argues uniforms should foster pride—not profit—and cites successful reforms in Britain and Australia that slashed costs through market competition. They’re not ditching uniforms, just making them affordable without sacrificing school spirit. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
