Morehouse College Policy Bans Sagging

In an attempt to eliminate "inappropriate attire," prestigious HBCU and private institution Morehouse College has adopted a policy that bans sagging and other styles associated with hip-hop culture. The "Appropriate Attire Policy" initiative is the product of Morehouse President Mikael Franklin, who is seeking to reestablish what he's coined as the modern "Renaissance Man." That individual, Franklin states, possesses the "5 Wells" of being well-spoken, well-read, well-traveled, well-dressed, and well-balanced. Sagging is said to have originated in the penal system, where prisoners were unable to keep their pants up due to belt confiscations to prevent suicides and murder. Although viewed as a style for juveniles, some prominent Hip-Hop artists in their 30's and 40's still utilize sagging in videos, concert, and award show appearances. Along with the new sagging ban, students will not be allowed to sport to sport any form of grillz, do-rags, hats, "stunna shades," hoods, or pajamas to class.

Personally I like this. Away from low-rise fit jeans, this really is for the best once people understand that it is to help them break away from the stereotypical appearance that severely limits young minorities today in regards to access, and not being put into a box by society which in the real world is a beast. the more access you have the better. Kudos.
