Let's Play Follow the Leader
And Virginia can be the leader.
Three cheers for Virginia, and let's all point and laugh at Lionell Sprewell!
"On Tuesday, he said the measure was an unconstitutional attack on young blacks that would force parents to take off work to accompany their children to court just for making a fashion statement."
Well guess what; if the kids don't dress in a socially unacceptable manner in the first place, then the parents don't have to take time off work.
And since when was provocative dress considered a valid fashion statement?
Furthermore, it's not an attack on blacks if it's directed at everyone. If the blacks choose to break the rule, that's their problem, not the legislators'.
Who elected this guy?

Please refrain from the use of foul language. Any failure to comply will result in comment deletion.
Readers please note, lest any should think the bills sponser was possibly racist, the following excerpt from the article:
"The bill's sponsor, Del. Algie T. Howell, has said constituents were offended by the exposed underwear. He did not speak on the floor Tuesday.
Spruill and Howell, also a Democrat, are both black."
Yes People are offended by seeing underpants.
Some people are also offended by seeing a Cross.
Do we really want legistlatures fining people for offending others?
But it is socially acceptable in their community. That won't help them get a job or anything but it's the same as those schools not letting kids die their hair green.
It's not like their cocks are hanging out.
