Here it is.

Thousands of schools around the US have banned ‘I <3 boobies’ bracelets for offensive language and violating dress code. Washington High School is no different. If a bracelet is seen on a student, staff members are instructed to take the bracelet away and send it to the office to be picked up after school. Students at Washington refuse to remain silent about this issue and the most likely form of refute is the statement, “but it supports breast cancer research.” Yes, that is correct. 5% from each bracelet purchased goes to support breast cancer research. Does that small amount make it okay to wear an offensive slogan on a bracelet?
Although the debate over these bracelets tends to center around whether or not they are appropriate to have at school, many believe the bracelets are not appropriate in general. It is a noble cause for the Keep-A-Breast Foundation to support breast cancer awareness(which they claim is their main cause), but many argue they are going about it the wrong way. For example, how many students are truly wearing them for the right reason? “I don’t believe these kids are wearing them to support breast cancer research, they’re wearing them for the affect,” stated Ms. Olson. If you look around, the bracelets are popular among teenagers, more so boys. A conversation last year among two male students proves my point. “Dude, you love boobies?”, to which the other student responded, “Yeah, don’t you?” Were they wearing them for the cause? No, they were wearing them because they’re teenage boys who “love boobies.”
"That's the whole idea, it's getting people to talk about breast cancer, it's getting people to share their feelings about how this disease has impacted their life," stated found of Keep-A-Breast Foundation, Shaney Jo Darden. "The bracelet is doing what it's meant to do — it's making people talk." That is true, but are the bracelets generating the right conversations? If their were a bracelet that said ‘I <3 testicles,’ would that encourage students to talk about testicular cancer? Miss Fagherberg stated “Awareness needs to be raised, but in a different way.” Breast Cancer is a major issue and the intentions of Keep-A-Breast Foundation are noteworthy, but there has to be a better way to raise awareness than stating your love for boobies on a bracelet. Find that way and support it.
As far as school goes, there are plenty of other ways to support breast cancer research and awareness. The ‘I <3 boobies’ bracelets are unprofessional and will not be allowed at school, so a suggestion is to leave them at home. Wear pink ribbons, buy merchandise from www.thebreastcancersite.com, change your face book picture to a pink tint, do something to spread awareness and raise money for the millions of women who suffer from this disease, because, if you truly care, you’ll make an effort to do more than just state your love for boobies on a $4 dollar bracelet.





There you have it.  That's my argument.  You will not see me wearing these bracelets, but I try to not judge other people for wearing them.  I do think it's tacky for a guy to wear them for lots of reasons.  Women are more than their boobs.  Breast cancer doesn't just take away boobs, it takes away lives.
