LAST EDITED ON 10-30-13 AT 11:35 AM (EST)So here we get into both 'what's appropriate for a school?' and 'does the First only kick in at eighteen?' at the same time. As such, I could try to predict just what each judge will rule in advance, but that just gets depressing. Let's just say I don't think this is going to be 9-0 and leave it at that.
Personally, it's not exactly one of my favorite terms and there are certainly better ways to say it, although 'I Love Breasts' would have gotten most students equally banned and changing the last bit to 'Breast Health' still would have resulted in suspensions on up at many schools. Let's face it: there's any number of facilities which would suspend a kid for wearing a pink shirt. And this wasn't a shirt at all: noticed mainly if you were looking for it...
Regardless, it still feels like a very stupid place to draw the line. This has all the indications of someone tilting at their chosen windmill, convinced that Western Civilization depends on their Putting The Next Generation In Line.
But still...
...dear gawds, it was Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Shrug and move on!
By the way, who do you think is paying for the school's lawyers all the way to the Supreme Court? I'm pretty sure it's not the school...
