Welcome to

Governor Rick Scott is being asked to send a message to students who wear their pants low.

The House and the Senate voted to send Scott a bill that punishes kids who wear baggy pants to school. The bills sponsor Senator Gary Siplin says he got the idea for the legislation from people in his district who told him what baggy pants means behind bars.

“In prison if you are available for the night you will show your underwear to let another prisoner know you are available for sex that night, and that was very unappealing to my constituents.”

Siplin originally wanted people caught with their pants down to be charged with a felony. The legislation headed to the governor sets up a system of disciplinary actions for schools to enforce that would force kids with baggy pants to be banned from extra curricular activities.
