As if dress codes in school aren't bad enough, there could soon be a statewide dress code in effect for Virginia:
Another anti-youth law passed by an anti-youth legislature meant to control another slight detail of how young people live their lives. While the bill doesn't specifically impose an age restriction, it is quite obvious that senior citizens don't sag their pants so they look cool on the shuffle board court.
One plea of dress code and school uniform supporters is that they are only policies governing one's clothing at school, students can still wear what they choose after school. Soon that might no longer be the case.
What types of governments seek to control every aspect of their citizens lives? Oh yea, governments like the Taliban that impose strict behavior and appearance guidelines on women, and governments like in the United States that impose strict behavior and appearance guidelines on youth. Thankfully we've progressed past stoning, but I'll thank you not to govern how high or low my pants must be.
As if dress codes in school aren't bad enough, there could soon be a statewide dress code in effect for Virginia:
The Virginia House of Delegates has tentatively approved a bill to crack down on people who wear low-riding pants.
Freshman Norfolk Delegate Algie Howell Jr. introduced the bill at the urging of constituents who are offended by the exposed underwear.
Howell said, "That's why they're called undergarments. They're supposed to be worn under something else."
Delegates approved a measure that would allow police to assess a $50 fine on anyone who exposes their below-waist underpants in a "lewd or indecent manner."
