Should droopy pants be outlawed?

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.
