School Wants to Take 'Boobies' Bracelet Fight to Supreme Court Kat Stoeffel
Can you imagine Antonin Scalia saying “boobies” over and over
and over? If one Pennsylvania school gets its way, you won’t have to
imagine it. The Easton Area School District board voted 7-1 last night
to take its ban on breast cancer charity bracelets that say “I heart
boobies"I to the Supreme Court, the AP reports. In
August, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the school could not
ban these bracelets categorically, because they are “not plainly lewd
and because they comment on a social issue.” The school rule was
challenged in 2010 by teenagers Brianna Hawk and Kayla Martinez (with
help from the ACLU), who testified that they merely hoped to raise
breast cancer awareness at their school — and, presumably, write the
best college essay ever.
