A $4 rubber bracelet meant to raise breast cancer awareness has done that and more: Students nationwide are wearing the "I (heart) boobies" wristbands, and running afoul of school administrators.
Schools from California to Florida have banned the bracelets because they believe the "boobies" language is inappropriate. Read entire article here.
Inappropriate? Probably so. When I was growing up, the word 'boob' was traditionally a derogatory term for a woman's breast, and not the nicest word to be used in public. So, yes, in defense of the schools, I can understand why they would be concerned because of the broader "inappropriate" usage of the word. Check out the short video here.
However, If the word "boob" or "boobies" and any bracelets with those words on them are banned, then the schools must stop passing out condoms to teens in support of pre-marital teen sex. And parents must be notified before sending their daughters to an abortion clinic if these girls find themselves pregnant because they refuse to use such birth control!
That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it!
