A forty-eight hour lock up is the sentence for two seniors at Bolivar Central High School in Bolivar, Tennessee, who were busted for wearing saggy pants on several occasions. The two high school students will spend the weekend in the Hardeman County Jail, after being reprimanded many times for “wearing saggy pants in violation of the school dress code which stated “low slung, baggy seat, baggy legged or bell bottom pants are not permitted.”
This is not a stand alone incident, but rather stems from an situation back in early November of 2015, when four students were charged with indecent exposure. The school seems to be making a strong statement to the student body, that they are serious about the dress code and they will enforce it.
The question is does the crime fit the punishment. Read more on the next page on how the community and student body are responding.
I HATE when they wear their pants below the butt…but…isn’t that included in the Constitution under freedom of expression or speech?
Hope they’ll learn
I kick punks off jobs that show up wearing that$#%&!@*… not safe…
That’s not saggy
By sending them to jail?? Yeah moron, what they will have learned is we do NOT live in a free country.
Their pants were probably more like, not even covering their behinds rather than sagging, that is indecent exposure. Jail is justified.
As much as I don’t care for sagging, the kids didn’t have to go to jail. Make them fix their jeans but that’s it.
Yeah that too but people have told them for years to pull them up but they Dont listen so jail them if it helps send the message to stop sagging their azzz around
The saggy pants are disgusting enough but grabbing their crotch in order to hold them up should be grounds for an arrest!
Good!
