The Birmingham City Council is considering a ban on wearing pants that sag below the waist level, exposing skin or underwear. Many young citizens are upset that their freedom to choose their fashion is being threatened. A local activist asked the Birmingham City Council and mayor Larry Langford to consider banning saggy pants. The council has not acted on the request which was made by Kamau Afrika, who wants offenders to pay fines and "do street clean-up in pink pajamas."
