Would you support banning Baggy Pants in CA Schools; Florida bill has passed their state senate (Montclair: crime, public schools)

The state government should have better things to do then harass young people who's style of dress they don't personally care for. Public schools should be like all other public places; no dress codes except the fact that you have to wear clothes. Or better yet, since students are the ones who go to the schools and spend all day there, they are the only ones who should get to vote on what happens there.

no dress codes? Do you think you can work in the government whether city, state or whatever and dress anyway you want? If you do, you had better think again. As for kids deciding what goes on in school, you can't be serious..They don't pay the school taxes, their parents and grandparents do. When the students start being allowed to decide what goes on, then I will decide how much I want to pay for food, I am the one buying it or how much I should pay for a speeding ticket, I was the one speeding, not the cop who stopped me. Oh, I guess, in order to catch me, he must have been speeding as well.

I am against school uniforms and anything more than the most minimal form of dress codes in public schools. Private schools can do whatever they want.

For school uniforms.

Expressing individualism through superficial means is overrated.

Incivility, i.e. going around with your butt hanging out, diminishes us all if we tolerate it.

The funny thing is baggy pants are not even in style anymore, today you'll find the same inner city kids who were wearing huge baggy pants sagging skinny jeans.

Well, thankfully we haven't seen any of that since we moved.

I am pretty sure they are referring to the style of wearing pants so baggy that underwear is clearly visible. Personally I do not care how tight or baggy your pants are, I do NOT want to see your underwear.

I've always like T and A as much as the next person but don't we go to school to learn? With some of these "fashions" they may as well go to school in their underwear or naked.

Braless girls, butt cracks and crotch shots are really, really distracting in HS.

Why, can you give us a good reason?
