How's that working? It's obvious that some families need "guidance" in that category.

I certainly agree with you there. Some of the crap I see the kids wearing when I drop mine off at school blows my mind.

I still think parents should decide what their kids will and will not wear.

I agree and disagree...I'm a proponent of school uniforms.

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.
No, I think you misunderstood, they are thinking of banning the Tea Baggers in pants.

Sometimes the parents dont know their kids do that when their out of sight. I've seen saggers that dont sag when their around family but when their away from them and around their friends they sag.

A law to tell you how you should dress?? Smh. If a person wanna sag their pants let them do them if they don't so be it. People want to control other people's lives.....I don't see the point

I am much more concerned with the Florida Governor and the Republican controlled statehouse banning schools themselves.

They do not seem to think education is a very high priority as witnessed by their budget cutbacks.

Baggy pants is smoke and mirrors.

As much as I hated wearing uniform way back in middle school, I might have to agree with you.
