This issue is still rumbling on:
"Two Pennsylvania school students testified in a federal court that they defied a school district ban on "I (heart) Boobies!" bracelets because they were proudly standing up for breast cancer awareness.
"I think the school took the meaning of the bracelets out of context," said Brianna Hawk, 13, one of two girls suspended in October for wearing the bracelets.
Hawk and Kayla Martinez, 12, who are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, both said on the stand that they use "boobies" at home to refer to breasts and consider the word harmless slang.
Attorneys for the Easton Area School District argue that the word "boobies," specifically when used in the phrase "I (heart) Boobies!," is lewd, vulgar and has no place in a middle school. Administrators enacted a ban based on the district dress code.
The purpose of the hearing was for US District Judge Mary A. McLaughlin to decide whether to temporarily overturn the district's bracelet ban as the case continues. Her decision could also send a signal to other school districts across the United States that have enacted similar bans.
The Easton district, north of Philadelphia, argues in court filings that the bracelets caused middle school boys to make inappropriate comments toward girls. In one case, it writes, a boy inappropriately touched a girl. [How awful!]

I say, let 'em have their boobies. This is an issue that many would love to handle. Stand firm!
Yes, what we need are laws to make young boys and girls stop saying things that others deem inappropriate. Hey, if the Gestapo could do it, (and they sure did) so can we.

It's a little nipply outside today.
Typical - the boy touched a girl. Well if true and inappropriate punish the boy! It is amusing that how outraged the lefties were when rapist were using the excuse that the girls were wearing barely anything (pun intended) so it is the girls fault. In that case they were correct, so why are the lefties/PC crowd taking the opposite side now and punishing the bracelet wearers?
Yes! Penis awareness week. All the boys go to school with their fly's open.
would it been better if the boy groped another boy..in that case he could be a tsa nazi.

That's a concept the left fully agrees with.
Would they allow a suit by someone wearing a cross to school? or will they just allow someone with a pentigram pin
