A federal judge in Philadelphia ruled a middle school cannot punish students for wearing breast cancer awareness bracelets proclaiming a love for “boobies”. The ruling came after two East Area Middle School students were suspended for wearing their “i (heart) boobies! (Keep A Breast)” bracelets despite the school’s ban on them. The ruling banned the school district from “suspending, threatening to suspend, or otherwise punishing or disciplining the plaintiffs for wearing the bracelets.” A lawyer for the school district disagreed with the ruling, and said it was inconceivable that the court failed to realize that the bracelets meant to titillate. “There’s no group more distractible than 12-to-14-year-old middle school boys,” he said. |
