WINONA, Minn. - Winona Senior High School has prohibited students from wearing a certain style of baggy pants because of safety concerns.

Although the straps haven‘t caused any injuries at the school, Sampson said they could possibly hook students onto something or someone and would be especially dangerous around shop class equipment.

Students said the new prohibition is aimed at groups who some label as "Goth" or "freak." They said teachers have been less stringent enforcing the dress code among students in other groups who wear skimpy blouses, T-shirts promoting alcohol or pants that show underwear.

Oops sorry..... that will interfere with their freedom of expression

Could really be said of any clothing, except spandex.

Actually, 'bondage pants' would not be the greatest option for a school shooter, because it's tough to run (from the cops) with them on.

[Rakkasan1]

exactly. they should be allowed to express their sex fetishes to include carrying whips and wearing masks,too

[martin_fierro]

Hadn't even heard of/seen these before now.

[Rakkasan1]

so are the pants- around- the- ass style, but the rappers keep tryin'!

[Rakkasan1]

that's one f'ugly student.

[Tzimisce]

Hillary (while taking a break from her protests against parental notification) will probably lead the resistance to this new rule.

[weegee]

But it is all part of the "show and tell" segment of the revised Sex Ed. curriculum.

You know the one that emphasizes the pornicopia of positions and pairings instead of teaching anatomy, reproduction, and what nasty diseases can be easily spread.

[Sarajevo]

Whatever happened to the days of the "Greasers" vs. the "Jocks" vs. the hippies, or Mr. DiOrio yelling, "Tuck in that shirt or you're going to the office for swats."?

[Sols]

Kids wear huge carpenter pants with those big loops (originally for hanging tools, I think?) and sagging pants. I don't see much difference, safety or style-wise.

[Rakkasan1]

point of fact: Winona Ryder is from Winona,MN
and named accordingly.I wonder if she's ever stolen these kind of pants.

[martin_fierro]

Now, THIS I've seen.

Makes me want to smack the wearer silly. "Your mama lets you go outside like that??"

[Huntress]

Bring out the gimp!

That would be "sex freak". Geeky freaks don't wear such attire to school and have no one to share it with in private.

[martin_fierro]

that's one f'ugly student.

Looks like Mr. Six Flags died and got kinky.

[Mushinronshasan]

I don't know about the kinky part, but I heard the new management of Six Flags are not pleased with the current marketing campaign. I guess that means Mr. Six is indeed deceased. (Or at least his career is).

"They say they would then shed some properties and revamp the company's advertising and marketing strategies "

How about being naughty meant pulling the "fruitloop" off a boys shirt.

[Moonmad27]

Isn't that mask in post #6 the "old Barnabas" from the Dark Shadows film?
