IM sorry but banning baggy pants are not gonna stop the violence. who aggrees with me or disagrees?

Answer 1

Banning baggy pants will not resolve the issue. I am certain of this. When my son was in middle school, all of the students wore them. One teacher singled him out and began to 'ride him' about his 'low riders.' It became such an issue that I had to go to the school and speak with her about it. I asked if it was affecting his grades, she said no, I asked if it affected the way he communicated with his teachers, she said no, I asked if he was doing anything morally damaging, she said no but it was close because she could see his shorts. Key word SHORTS, not his underwear. I asked if it was damaging his health, she said no.
I told her that if it was not damaging his morality, health, studies, others, or environment she really didn't have a leg to stand on with me. There was nothing in the dress code at the time, but there is now that he is gone.
The issue that needs to be addressed is not the clothes they choose to wear, but the people they hang out with. If its a gang problem then it should be dealt with on that level. Security is the issue. Clothing is not the place to start.

Answer 2

Banning saggy pants is like banning violent video games or whatever movie is getting people getting riled up at the moment. It never solves anything but I lets politicans look like they are doing something worth while.

Whether it get passed or not there will still be crime and kids will still wear their pants how they like. It will just end up taking everyone's attention away from the real problems of the world, for a moment.

Answer 3

I have not heard of a law to ban baggy pants but there are laws being processed which make it illegal to show underwear in public. ACLU is waiting to see the final laws before acting.

Answer 4

We have several schools in my area that already ban this kind of "gagsta" attire at school.
I don't see a problem with it- who thought showing people your underwear was making a fashion statement.
It was probably those same idiots that told us girls in the 80's to wear leg warmers when it was 90 degrees outside just like Flashdance.

Answer 5

I disagree. Baggy pants hide weapons and stolen goods. The baggy pant thing has been around since the late 80's and it's time to get that nasty style out of our faces.

Answer 6

Atlanta is thinking about it too,that should be interesting. I'm against bans that take away certain individual choices. It is more about people showing their underwear,which i really don't want to see. back in the 80s though girls were wearing just boxers around.

Answer 7

I thought it was Atlanta that was doing it...

Either way, no, I don't think it's constitutional. However, I'm really tired of seeing dudes' butts all the time. They look retarded. I think the whole country needs to be cleaned up in this way. Down with guns, up with pants!

Answer 8

Maybe it's more for those that let their baggy pants hang so low that the crack of their butt hangs out. If that were the case, I'm all for it. I hate all of these plummer wannabes walking around even the girls.

Answer 9

I'm against any law regulating expression so I'm basically against it but I absolutely hate that look and always did so I can understand why people would want to ban it.

Answer 10

There are decency laws. It's aimed at people who have their butt hanging out. I saw the headline. The media reports it so you read it, but once you read the entire article it becomes apparent.
