The city of Fort Worth will join the campaign "Pull 'Em Up" that aims to end the fashion that some young people have taken to use his pants fallen (saggy pants).

Counselors in the city on Tuesday voted in favor of joining the campaign and will soon be able to see posters alluding to this extent some roads in the city.

"We approved a proposal to promote the campaign and using billboards (billboards), posters and other things," said Salvador Espino, councilman from Fort Worth.

The fashion of using trousers fallen achieves that boys stop to view their intimate garments since the shooting of pants they reach the knees.

Espino added that the alert young people about this campaign may choose to use a more formal dress.

"By dressing more professionally, perhaps to obtain jobs, improve respect themselves and eliminate negative stereotypes," said Espino.

" Pull your pants up!, Pull your pants up !". The campaign consists of the transmission of a theme song that repeats the phrase "Pull your pants up! Pull your pants up!", Or "go trousers" on radio stations from Clear Channel.

Camille Rodriguez, a member of the governing board of the Independent School District in Fort Worth (FWISD) said to be in favour of the campaign.
"The school district supports the campaign, two years ago passed a rule of clothing for our students, are not allowed to wear trousers and shirts have fallen to remain in the pants," said Rodriguez.

He added that due to regulation FWISD, there are so many students using this fashion.

"I no longer have seen many youngsters with his trousers fallen and I think the community is happy with it," said Rodriguez.
