The Cybercast News Service website reports today (November 16, 2010) that a free-speech lawsuit has been filed against a Pennsylvania school district that bans the popular "I (Heart) Boobies" bracelets.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) says the Easton Area School District ban violates students' First Amendment rights.
The suit -- filed yesterday -- says two middle school students received in-school suspensions last month for wearing bracelets that say, "I (Heart) Boobies. Keep a Breast." The bracelets are sold by a nonprofit organization to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer organizations.
School districts across the country have been running into similar disputes.
