'I <3 Boobies' bracelet Moms to sue school district over suspensions

I hope they get all the school district's money so they can stop wasting it on stupid shit like new books and teaching future doctors that might actually cure breast cancer.

I hope the school district learns a lesson in power tripping.

The kids definitely learned the lesson that crossing the line intentionally so as to cause an incident and get national attention for your cause is a very easy and good thing to do.
 
Wow, boobies? Really? That's sooooo bad, isn't it? Why not worry about the fact that kids are fucking stupid and can't speak properly. Really, boobies is our biggest concern? What a waste of time and money.
 
In the end all of this is BS. It's a waste of resources whether you are "successful" at making your point or not.

In the end ...it's all about "us" and how much the lecherous lawyers can make out of all potential lawsuits..

The district banned the bracelets in October, a month into the school year and after students had been wearing them without serious incident, the ACLU said.

Amy Martinez said her daughter Kayla's suspension seems unduly harsh, given that the 12-year-old had agreed to wear the bracelet inside out, with only a breast cancer-awareness website address showing. That, too, was deemed inappropriate under the school dress code, she said.

Yeah, they intentionally crossed the line, not to mention they're 12-year-old females who I doubt fall into the category of doing this just to cause an incident for the sake of causing an incident. Geezus, try again please..
 
School district is going to lose this one. Plenty of precedents set about dress code & what you can and can't enforce. "a month into the school year and after students had been wearing them without serious incident, the ACLU said." = Lose in court.

Learn to pick your battles. If it's having zero effect on instruction & behavior, then it's not worth the risk. Every time I read about these things I wonder why these school districts don't have any professional development toward recent cases and trends in school law.

Sure. But kids are kids. They will ALWAYS cross the line, and push the limits, any excuse to be rebellious and do what they want. Which is almost always the opposite of what parents/teachers want. I'm fairly certain that's why I did so many stupid things as a kid.

However by doing this, the school district just plays into the kids hands, and look like fools. The only way to approach a situation like this is to ignore it, and it'll die out once the kids realize it's just not that special or funny any more. Fads in high school go by quicker than fast food specials.
 
Kids these days think they are entitled to act a fool because mommy or daddy will protect them. Grow up morans. Just cuz you can do something doesnt mean u should. Never had to worry about this shit when I was in shcool.

Shcool eh? I always wondered where the short bus went....
 
A good ruling, hopefully the school learns a lesson. I mean, with all the problems in the schools today, is someone wearing a cancer awareness bracelet really your big concern? Really?
 
I wonder if the real reason for the ruckus was a number of teachers struggling with pedophilia tendencies. :hmm:

Or it could be as simple as having a school full of middle school kids giggling over stupid double entendre bracelets just makes it that much more difficult to maintain an orderly learning environment.

This. It's like public school officials are stuck in the 50s. Then again, you have to wonder about anyone who would want to work in public K-12 administration. It's a pretty damn thankless job.
