Bill Passes To Ban Sagging Pants & Other "Vulgar" Clothing

A new bill has passed in the House of Representatives that bans clothing that is worn sagging in the state of Florida.

Introduced by Rep. Hazelle Rogers (D-Lauderhill, Florida) the bill was passed unanimously by the committee.

"This pro-family, pro-education, pro-jobs bill provides each school district ... adopt a student dress code of conduct, a policy that explains to each student their responsibility," Rep. Rogers said. "This would make for a better school district and more productive students."

The bill doesn't say the word "sag" in it, but clothing that "exposes the underwear or body parts in an indecent or vulgar manner," is pretty much saying the same thing.

If students are caught breaking the new clothing bill, they can be  excused from extracurricular activities and even be given an in-school suspension.

The  sagging pants trend is thought to originated in the prison system, "where belts are not issued because they may be used to commit suicide or used as weapons."

The local branch of the NAACP in Florida has condemned the bill, claiming that black youth will be targeted.

    ARE WE STILL IN AMERICA?.. AT WHAT POINT DID IT BECOME OK TO TELL ADULTS HOW THEY SHOULD DRESS IN THIS COUNTRY?

    • JENNY JONES!!!

      WHERE IN THE HELL DOES IT SAY ADULTS???? IT SAYS A STUDENT DRESS CODE OF CONDUCT WHICH THEY NEED SINCE SELF PRIDE HAS BEEN LOST AND THEIR PARENTS DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THEIR OWN. AND I'M SO SICK OF THE NAACP ALWAYS GETTING INVOLVED IN BS!!!! THAT IS NOT WHAT OUR ANCESTORS FOUGHT & DIED FOR. IF ANYTHING THEY SHOULD BE BACKING THIS AND COMING UP WITH THEIR OWN PLAN TO BRING BACK PRIDE TO OUR YOUNG MEN & WOMEN INSTEAD OF ALWAYS UPHOLDING BS JUST BC THE OPPOSITION BEHIND IT IS SOMEONE NON-BLACK OR A MOSTLY WHITE ORGANIZATION. ITS A DISGRACE AND D*MN SHAME THAT OUR YOUNG MALES MOSTLY BLACK ARE WALKING AROUND SHOWING THEIR D*MN DRAWLS, LOOKING LIKE PRISON PROSTITUTES. TOTALLY NASTY!!!! I HOPE THIS TYPE OF BILL MAKES IT WAY ACROSS THE NATION AND I'M SO GLAD THAT MOREHOUSE COLLEGE CAME UP WITH A SIMILIAR STUDENT DRESS CODE OF CONDUCT. ITS ABOUT TIME!!!!.............JENNY JONES!!!!

    The sagging pants originated in pr and prison as a "secret code" that you are gay to keep from being persecuted. However this bill is retarded. In order to maintain a pro jobs, pro family pro, pro education society were just going to **********inate creativity when its most fruitile. In the children. Good job house of reps, keep up the excellent work!
