Barbershop Buzz: Should we ban saggy pants?
VIDEO - What do you think of people who sag their pants? Is it fair to legislate what people wear?
The Florida legislature passed a bill last week banning saggy pants in the state’s public schools, punishing students who show their underwear or “butt crack.”
The sponsors of the bill, state Senator Gary Siplin (D-Orlando) and state Rep. Hazelle Rogers (D-Lauderdale Lakes) are black. Some critics have questioned whether this new bill — if signed into law by the governor — would promoted racial profiling.
We hit the barbershop and asked: Is it fair for a law to dictate what public school children can wear? Do you think this style of clothing is associated with a negative image? Do you think a like like this promotes racial profiling?
Tune in and see what the folks at the barbershop had to say!
