Is Boobies a 4 Letter Word?

Apparently some teachers and school administrators do.
Quote:
A $4 rubber bracelet meant to raise breast cancer awareness has done that and more: Students nationwide are wearing the "I ♥ boobies" wristbands, and running afoul of school administrators.
~snip~
Kollin West, a 14-year-old student at Laramie Junior High School, is one student who got in trouble over the bracelets. The ninth-grader began wearing his bracelet after noticing the number of women being treated for breast cancer at a hospital where his father was undergoing chemotherapy for testicular cancer.
"I just thought it would be a good idea to support breast cancer," said West, who also wears a bracelet that says, "Check Yourself."
School officials objected, ordering West to wear his "boobies" bracelet inside-out because they considered the bracelet's wording inappropriate. West pointed out that girls at his school, the local high school and even an elementary school were wearing them without a problem.
I can see both sides of the issue, but their solution boggles my mind.

Quote:
School officials ultimately agreed to allow him to wear it except in the presence of two teachers - one a victim of breast cancer and another who lost a relative to the disease - who found the "boobies" reference objectionable.
Those two teachers, of all people, should be 100% for any campagn to beat this scourge.
Fuck Cancer.
