Pull Up Your Britches

Gary Siplin

Orlando Senator Gary Siplin is hoping his bill on britches will pass before the end of this year's legislative session.

Siplin has fought for the change for months.

It would put in place a statewide public school dress code and ban pants and shorts worn below the waist.

Students who violate the rules could be suspended. 

"We don't want a distraction in the school system when they have to look at g-strings and the pants down. We want the kids to focus in on educating themselves, so they can matriculate through the education process and get a job and be a taxpayer, not a tax burden," Senator Siplin said.

Because Senator Siplin’s bill does not have a companion version in the State House, the chances are slim it will pass this year.
