TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) - The Florida Senate wants public school students to pull up their pants. Lawmakers passed a bill Thursday that could mean suspensions for students with droopy britches.
An ignorant Democrat came up with it:
“Despite being the butt of jokes, the bill’s sponsor, Orlando Sen. Gary Siplin, a Democrat, has said the fashion statement has a back-story — it was made popular by rap artists after first appearing among prison inmates as a signal they were looking for sex.”
Why would anyone sponsor a bill like this, you might ask? And why would a legislature vote for it?
“All we’re trying to do now is trying to inform folks that we have a fad now that does not have a very good origination,” Siplin said. “We’re trying to make an example in school,” he added, saying it would help students get jobs and a degree.”
There’s the problem. Lawmakers do not take the law seriously. The law may not be an ass, but some legislators (and legislatures) certainly are.
“Trying to do”. What a maroon. Grow up, get a life, and stop making laws about what people wear. Jerk.
Let’s paraphrase ’Rizzo’ in Grease: “Keep your filthy laws off my silky drawers.”
