DALLAS –Ron Price, a trustee of the Dallas Independent School District, says that “No one needs to see anyone else’s underwear.” And Price thinks there ought to be a law.
Ron believes that “My problem is when grown men walk around our cities with their pants well below their ‘hinny’ with all their underwear exposed,”
“Pull it up, or pay up!” he says. “Either you can pull your pants up, or get a ticket and pay up.”
He's proposing that low-riding violators get hit with a fine of up to $50.
Price, who as a school board trustee pushed through a dress code for Dallas public schools, says it's time for citizens of every color to literally tighten their belts.
“It's not about race,” he says. “It's not about gender. It's an issue of respect and honor.”
