culture blurb...droopy drawers no more...

from freerepublic: "Youth who let their drawers droop to expose underwear, G-strings or worse at school would be get a verbal warning after a first offense but face suspension if they keep doing it under a measure that cleared a Senate committee Wednesday.
The Prekindergarten-12th Grade Education Committee unanimously approved Sen. Gary Siplin's "pull up your britches" bill (SB 302). It next will go to the Senate floor after the Legislature convenes its regular annual session in March. "We want to make sure the focus is on the blackboard and not the backboard," said Siplin, D-Orlando. "You can't apply for a job with your pants sagging. You can't go to college with your pants sagging and do well.""
