LA lawmaker wants to ban pajamas in public.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/stor......532630/1 Not sure how one mans genitals were exposed, if it was through the fly, or if he could just see the shape through the loose fabric. Certainly unpleasant, but PJs certainly aren't the only exposing clothing. Also, if his unit had actually popped out, then aren't there already laws covering that? Indecent exposure abd such?

Some people just like to show they have no class whatsoever and by wearing pajamas in public helps them do this. Same as wearing your pants way to low showing your underware. It is just tasteless and looks, quite frankly, stupid. However I believe this shows the mentality of the wearer so it is obvious they know no better and they think they are cool. Yea a lot of people want to see your underware and your pajamas. Of course we will have those with different views on this...whatever. It is their choice and if they wish to look foolish so be it. By the way this dress code I believe is recommended for job interviews as it makes a great impression.

Pajama Day is a tradition in many High Schools. I am highly doubtful that this will "fly."

Never been to CA, but we have it at all the schools here in WA. Spokane's generally considered a pretty conservative city too.

I just looked quickly on the net and it seems that a lot of Pajama day was in kindergarden and lower grades of elementry. Not so much high school. Oh well. If a teacher decided on this on his or her own they would be deemed a pervert and probably fired. Are the teachers supposed to wear pajamas also or is it just making a fool out of the kids? Also lot of guys in HS don't think pajamas are cool so they sleep intheir shorts or sweats. What about them? Do we have an underware day for them? Not right to leave them out. The whole thing is ridiculous.
How about a dress up day? Boys must wear a collered shirt and a tie. Girls must wear a dress, not a skirt or pants a dress. Of course this would be deemed not right for some reason. Guess I am getting to old. I remember when it was embarassing to wear clothes that had holes in them to school and shoes that were not shined. Things change. Not necessairly for the better. If you don't believe me just look around. But keep your eyes open but he honest to what you see. School is for teaching and preparing for life. I just do not see how wearing pajamas to school helps accomplish this. What the heck is it preparing you for...sleeping on the job. You want to wear pajamas, have a pajama party, AFTER SCHOOL. The girls can invite the guys over so the guys can show off their underware. Thinking about this it could catch on. But that is for another thread.

Aces, yeah, it is/can be pretty tacky, the question is, does that mean there should be a law? Does that necessitate forcing people to not wear PJs in public? Or forcing then to pull up their pants?

I have to agree with Glen here. (!)
There are already laws against public indecency. Exposed butt crack, though, is another story. When I used to work the bars, I'd occasionally see some guy sitting on a bar stool unwittingly showing his crack. Often, I'd walk behind him and drop an ice cube in there, much to everyone's merriment. |

I don't see how a pair of flannel drawers is any worse than those stupid hot pants and capris (which we used to call high waters when I was a kid.)
But as many times as I've worn a kilt in public I'm sure not all that concerned with what other people decide to cover their junk with. If it's that bad then have a laugh and send a pic to People of Walmart. That way, everybody wins.

Like anything else the "should" depends on who you are asking. I will have to agree that if you ask most of those who wear their pants like that about their grades they will answer as the article states c's d's and f's. So I guess the law is picking on dummies which is not right. Or do you think it is pickiing on people with an attitude? You decide. Dress almost always conveys the additude of the person. Need I say more? Get back to the job interview. If you were looking for a responsble person, who you as the personell manager would be responsible for hiring who would you choose? The underware showing guy or a guy in a dress shirt with a nice pair of kakhis wearing his pants where they were made to be worn? Or maybe a guy wearing pajamas, ha ha.

I feel bad for the kids who can't tell the difference between a job interview and a school dress-up day.
I imagine there's one somewhere getting food stamps in game day face-paint. Another is wearing a blind-fold because he thought it was handicapped awareness day. There's a woman at the DMV wearing a sombrero for a cultural awareness day that ended 10 years ago. The horror. The horror. *** you, homecoming! *** you to Hell! Just look at these trouble makers. The future bane of society, I'm certain. Why, one of them is in possesion of an energy drink! But doesn't he know he's supposed to be sleepy in those clothes? Darned hooligans. Perhaps we should also ban track and field, just to be safe. It's obviously corrupted these low-lifes to no end. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=pajama+da......:24,s:20 Sorry, I don't see this as any kind of remotely serious issue.

Incidentally, our 15 year old girl participates in every school dress up day and activity, gets straight A's, and represents her school in National contests for color guard.
I'm not too worried about her.

Now we are at critters 15 year old daughter who is obviously a fine student and a young lady in every respect. I have to ask critter. If a guy comes to your home to date your daugahter with his pants way below the waist and his shorts showing are you comfortable with your daughter going out with this guy. Again why not have a dress up day when the guys can dress like a fine young gengleman and the girls can dress like a fine young lady? Just curious what the response would be to a real "Dress up Day". Please don't tell me about how these girls and guys act beause if you know anything about me you know the businesses I own and I see this every day and I see who is who and what sort character those of each persuasion is. You like pajama day, good for you. I see no real reason for it. Nor do I see a reason for the guys to wear their pants way below their waist or below their crotch and show their underware . What is the point? Is it a style that you think makes one look good? Just saying that the dress code we are talking about is nothing more than an attidute not a fashion. What would the kids do if their parents dressed like that? Or do they feel only young people are allowed to make fools of themselves.

Aces, you went as far away from the question as you could, while still managing to stay on topic.
Should people be forced to pull up their pant, and not wear PJs in public?

As for schools having your shirt and tie day, I don't see a problem with that. Wouldn't bother me in the least. Why can't we have both? I used to dress up in a shirt and tie for spelling bees. It was appropriate attire for the occasion. Going back to the example of dressing for a profession, I wouldn't wear a hard hat to school. Likewise, I wouldn't want to be the one guy who shows up to casual Friday in a three piece suit. Quote:

Good on you. Mean it. I managed three different teams of 32+ employees and a minimal dress-code, so I like to think I have some perspective as well. As for my part, when I had that job I did take one or two late night trips to the store in pajamas, and then the next day I got up and put on slacks and a button up shirt (to set an example for my team) and went to my job as a manager whose team consistently performed in the top three out of twelve. I worked hard at work, and after work was my time to put on something comfortable and relax. I'd earned it. As for baggy pants, I wasn't really talking about that, but I have met a couple of video game company executives who wear those goth suspender baggy pants though, and they seem pretty bright. But baggy pants and a gangsta bandana might cause me to be on guard. I also like to think that those guys wouldn't dress like that if they were insurance salesmen or something like that. Not all of them wear baggy pants though. One of them dresses exactly like Tom Baker as Doctor Who. Has a screen worn scarf and everything. It's kind of weird, but he makes good money and is really polite. So I guess I would try to look at that one in the context it's presented in. Quote:

I think worrying about it is silly. I don't think of it as a 'dress code' though. It's just a fun activity. In the schools I went to it wasn't required, but voluntary. And the kids who were 'too cool' to participate were usually the ones who I knew as the trouble makers of the school. As for the 'crotch pants,' I don't like those either. But lots of people don't like it when I wear cowboy hats or kilts. Like I said, have a laugh and send it to People of Walmart. No need to take it so seriously.
