First Day of School Controversy
9/8/2010 at 6:31 AM
Bracelets promoting breast cancer awareness are causing a big problem at schools across North America, leading some administrators to ban them from classrooms for a message that some say is in poor taste.
Baltic High School in South Dakota became the latest school to ban the rubber bracelet, which has the message: "I love boobies."
Baltic High School principal Jim Aisenbrey said, "When we had an assembly the first day of school, I basically told the students we were not insensitive to the cause. I do think there are more proper ways to bring this plight to the attention of people, and I don't think this is a proper way."
The bracelets were created by the Keep A Breast foundation, based in California that says its mission is to "help eradicate breast cancer by exposing young people to methods of prevention, early detection and support."
