LARAMIE, Wyo. – A $4 rubber bracelet meant to raise breast cancer awareness has done that and more: Students nationwide are wearing the "I (heart) boobies" wristbands, and running afoul of school administrators.

Schools from California to Florida have banned the bracelets because they believe the "boobies" language is inappropriate.

The bracelets are marketed by a California-based nonprofit created to raise breast cancer awareness among youth. The Keep A Breast Foundation has sold 2 million of the bracelets so far, with the money going to breast cancer research and education programs.

The group believes a bracelet with a catchy, envelope-pushing slogan such as "I (heart) boobies" is a better way to teach kids about breast cancer than more traditional methods like pink ribbons....................................>>>>................................>>>>................................................http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_breast_cancer_bracelets

they want to teach kids about breast cancer but fail to teach them about good diets/foods/exercise/math/reading etc.......I really dont care if they wear them or not......but do kids really need to be immersed
in all these stupid ribbon/band things....??? honestly it's getting to be a bit much.......

remember today is:
secretaries day
nurses day
police day
fireman day
breast cancer awareness
lung cancer awareness
pet awareness

it's getting ridiculous and the news media is so sickening about....I'm going to vomit.....we might just as well be moon-children handing out flowers at the airport

'I love boobies' wristband'........too funny!!!

And I agree with senders.......shouldn't the kids in school just focus on 'learning'? Let the kids do kids think and do kid things!!

 Let the adults deal with adult issues!!
