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 Siplin’s 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.
