Yeah but I don't think that the school uniform, or lack ther of, is really the issue. A teacher would have told me to sit on the floor for something like that... I would have smiled, politely refused and went on with the day. If it persisted then would have taken other actions. The parenting skills should have came in by teaching the kid a little self respect and not to let others push you around. Do I think the teacher was in the wrong? Of course, and I'm a die hard Steelers fan all the way from Southern Cal. But I think the kid almost helped the issue (almost) by actually taking a seat on the ground...
