Shall we talk about our kids’ clothes for a minute, ok? Does it irritate you sometimes the way your son or daughter dresses? How about when your son has draggy pants like this? Does this just drive you nuts? I’m sorry but this is New York State Senator Eric Adams. I promise I’m going somewhere with this. Is his droopy pants campaign to pull up your pants? Ok. If a kid looked like that, come on now, all right. Now, that’s just one issue that’s got parents talking and also school administrators¹ with regard to how our students dress. I don’t know if you remember this story that we ran. It was all about her revealing prom dress on this gal² in Oxford³, Alabama, she wanted to go to her senior prom. I don’t know, come on, I think she looks beautiful. But this one, all right, I can understand. Um. It’s a little much. But she was actually a college student, a 21-year-old college student in Brazil who is expelled for wearing this short skirt. There’s a bunch of public outcry, they got her back into class by the way, so that didn’t work. But, now, let’s talk about this for a second, the American flag. Kids being lambasted for wearing the American flag. Do you think that’s fair? We are talking about five students at a California high school who wore clothes with the American flags to school on the traditional Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo. They got notices. It also got them kicked out of school after they refused to take the shirts off, freedom expression or cultural disrespect. CNN’s Dan Simon has the debate.
