So you've seen the I Heart Boobies bracelets, right? The idea behind the campaign is to help teens be aware of, and comfortable with talking about, breast cancer. Here's the site.
Two middle school students wore the bracelets to school after the school had banned them. They were suspended. Now they're suing the school district because they say their freedom of speech was violated. The school district says that the message has a sexual connotation and is inappropriate for a school environment. A federal appeals court is considering the case right now.
What do you think? Should they have been suspended? Should they have worn the bracelets despite the ban on them? Or should they be allowed to wear them? Check out more information on the issue here.
