in the fall of 2010 at westside middle school in memphis, tennessee, the policy on handling sagging pants is for students to pull them up or get "urkeled", a reference to the character steve urkel of the 1990s television show "family matters". in this practice, teachers would pull their pants up and attach them there using zip ties. students would also have their photo taken and posted on a board in the hallway, for all of their classmates to see. in an interview with wmc-tv, principal bobby white stated that the general idea is to fight pop culture with pop culture. one teacher at the school claimed to have "urkeled" up to 80 students per week, although after five weeks students got the message, and the number dropped to 18.
