TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) _ The Florida branch of the NAACP says a bill that would ban students from wearing their pants too low could lead to more legal trouble for black males.
Orlando Senator Gary Siplins bill was approved 28-11 last week by the Florida Senate.
The bill calls for no criminal sanctions, but it would prohibit students from wearing pants low so that they expose undergarments.
Violators would receive a warning for a first offense, and suspensions from school would be issued for each subsequent infraction.
NAACP President Adora Obi Nweze called it a clearly discriminatory bill.
Other groups such as the Advancement Project, a Washington social advocacy organization, say the proposal is directed primarily at black males and could lead to arrests.

How much respect would these organizations get if they told people, "Pull your pants up or get a belt!" Better yet, "pull your pants up or get
the belt!"
