"Unfortunately for us, there&amp;#x27;s still no law prohibiting muffin tops and whale tails...but hot on the heels of last week&amp;#x27;s burqa ban in France comes another instance of outlawed clothing: Florida is attempting to pass a ban on sagging pants. Coco Perez pointed us in the direction of this story from First Coast News, which chronicles the state&amp;#x27;s efforts to get kids to stop showing their skivvies at school: &amp;quot;State Senator Gary Siplin has been working on a bill aimed at a school&amp;#x27;s dress code policy for six years and he&amp;#x27;s close to making it law. SB 228 and House version, HB 61, makes it against the law when teens wear their pants so low you can see their underwear. The proposed rule under the school code of conduct applies to boys and girls. The Senate version passed without any dissenting votes.&amp;quot; Florida schools seem to be behind the measure--at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg, the motto is, &amp;quot;Heads up, Pants up, Grades up.&amp;quot; As for punishment, the bill &amp;quot;comes with specific consequences for students, from a verbal warning to a three day in-school suspension and a 30 day suspension from extracurricular activities like football or theatre.&amp;quot; Get the full scoop on the sagging pants ban over at First Coast News, then tell us what you think. Does exposed underwear pose enough of a problem in schools that there should be a law against it? Do you think this bill will pass?
