No, I don't mean disallowed at schools. I mean made illegal, with fines for wearing them.
An Atlanta councilman thinks so, and his comments have spurred quite a debate there.
Outlaw Droopy Pants in Atlanta?
This debate is very interesting in light of the Flagler Co. School Board's constant referral to the droopy pants of male students as one of the reasons that they want to institute a uniform code for the 2008-2009 school year.
Is opposition to droopy pants simply a generational gap? Is it racist? Is showing off part of your underwear freedom of speech?
Answers to those questions are very relevant to the uniform debate.

Asserting Parental Rights
Courtesy of AOL News, comes a very interesting article talking about the state of the school uniform debate in this country: Ironing Out Policies On School Uniforms
The article mentions the Texas-based group APROD (Asserting Parental Rights - It's Our Duty). On their website, APROD has some great information about uniform research under the headings Important Links and Uniform Myths.
