There was a bit of controversy against the breast cancer fundraising bracelets that proclaimed 'I (heart) boobies!' but the federal judge of Pennsylvania ruled these bracelets are not lewd and vulgar. Thus, they are not banned by public school officials after this ruling.
Judge Mary McLaughlin said the bracelets could be reasonably viewed as speech designed to raise awareness for breast cancer and to reduce stigma associate with openly discussing breast health.
Now the schools will not consider the bracelets to be disruptive or vulgar anymore. Earlier, two girls were suspended for defying a ban on wearing the bracelets in their school during the Breast Cancer Awareness Day.
School management felt that the slogan itself was overtly sexual and had a double meaning. They said because of the bracelet's inappropriate slogan two boys tried to touch girls on their breasts.
However, with the ruling the victory lies in the hands of speech advocates. It is a lighthearted way to raise awareness of breast health. What better way to reach out to the youth if they could relate with the slogans for such a brilliant cause.
