I agree that it would solve the problem, but I'm not comfortable with a public school dictating what students have to wear. Maybe if the parents came to a consensus about it, then it might be alright.
Why not?
Public school is a place to learn. Not a place to be fashionable.
I personally think the trend is hideous. If you want to show your a$$ pull your pants down we will look and we can all go on without see it the rest of the day. You look like fools. The one guy that was running from the cops was pulling his pants up and they shot him so it isn't the safest thing if in the wrong situation... thank goodness they don't drive Toyotas otherwise they might get stuck around the accelerator and cause the cars to go uncontrolled.
Now if you have a law to say no you can't do this I think it is getting too invasive. We have seat belt laws. helmet laws and they want this too? We just don't need gov to say things that should be common sense.
Ridiculous. This should be left to school districts to decide. As long as students aren't exposing their genitals or buttocks, they should be able to wear whatever they want at a public school.
It's not really illegal per se (the way it's worded in the poll). I voted yes, though. However, I guess I misunderstood and I agree it should be up to the school districts. We had strict rules about short shorts and sagging pants when I was in school and I think it should continue. It's pretty gross when a guy's butt is hanging out of his pants, even if his skin is not exposed (I don't want to see anyone's undies!). And short shorts are just plain distracting so those should be "outlawed" as well. I was just commenting on how one of my employees (a high school kid) came in today with his entire rear end out of his pants b/c he was sagging so low, and I think it's just totally inappropriate to come in to work that way, but also to walk around town like that or attend school. Whatever happened to modesty??
ETA: You are right, it would be illegal if the law passes, so my bad. It's 6am and I'm still awake so apparently my comprehension skills are suffering. LOL

Guess its true... you just can't fix stupid.
Right on all counts!
But don't you think it would be amusing if someone tried to pass a law diving into this whole hog? Don't just discriminate against ridiculous looking baggy pants--ANY form of tasteless dress is hereby declared illegal! Go out your front door wearing a tie that doesn't match your shirt, and the Taste Police will be waiting for you at the corner. (There has to be a bureaucrat somewhere who'd jump on this idea in a nanosecond--just look at all the departments that would have to be created to enforce such a law!)
I say good on Siplin for writing this bill! About a month ago, I saw a guy with his pants sagged and he had racing stripes. He was leaving a restaurant and I almost puked from the sight and the smell when he walked by out table!
