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.
Extreme maybe?
GOOD CUZ IM TIRED OF SEEING YALLS$#%&!@*ALL THE TIME
It’s about time!
Should’ve whipped them before sending them to jail. The things black people do for attention.
Y’all know it just shows cloth that’s a different color and fabric right? You think it’s a free country when you are CRIMINALIZED and put in jail for the way you wear your pants? On top of that its a waste of money and resources . for what? Ya’ll sure are dumb Jerry Shartzer Angel Mia Basenova
If it teaches them to dress properly and set an example, by all means do it.
You’re giving them a hard time because you think it’s offensive that part of their underwear are showing? That’s funny because in your profile picture if I could see any more of your fuckin$#%&!@*Facebook would have to ban that$#%&!@* so don’t come on here complaining about baggy pants when you have a foot of cleavage showing.
By that logic any girl who wears a thong bikini or shows too much cleavage should also be subject to arrest for “indecent exposure”.
Should be. Punks.
I think it is hilarious to watch them run with their pants around their knees.
I think a progressive fine would be better than jail.
Fine parents and maybe they will learn to actually be parents again.
Community service, soup kitchens, lots of choices.
