    The title of the article is ‘Does the Constitution have a heart for boobies?’it came from a newspaper of los Angeles times there's no Author. November 20, 2010 is when it was written. The purpose of it is advertising breast cancer on bracelets that has the words I love boobies (Keep A Breast) representing ‘The Keep A Breast Foundation’ that legally uses its money for breast cancer while the constitution thinks it’s a bad idea by some people thinking its perverted while they probably are protected under the first amendment in freedom of speech people are wanting it to be banded mostly in the area of middle schools for it being inappropriate. I think that it shouldn’t be banded even though people seem to find it rude but other think it’s for helping breast cancer the bracelets are what teens are wearing now which is cool it influences other kids to buy them and realize they are helping. By them getting a note after they buy one saying how much they are helping.

    The title of this article is, "Does the Constitution Have a Heart For Boobies?" came from the Los Angeles Times website and was published on November 20, 2010. The purpose of this article was to enforce the knowledge of the "I <3 Boobies" (Keep a Breast)Foundation. The reason for this foundation is to raise money for the breast cancer patients. This foundation is a way to get the younger kids involved with raising money, not just for breast cancer patients, but have the knowledge of cancer in general. Many kids have these breast cancer bracelets that say, "I <3 Boobies, Keep a Breast." In my opinion, it is an excellent way to get kids involved with the breast cancer awareness, and it is creative as well. Some schools, teachers, and parents disagree with this foundation. Some people think it is too risque for the younger audience and is inappropriate. School from all over the country have banned these bracelets because they think it is not school appropriate, and should not take place at all. I 100% disagree. As the article says, it is taking the students first amendment rights away, by not letting them say and wear what they want. By letting these kids wear these bracelets, that should inform these teachers that their students know what breast cancer is, and they know that these kids want to help. Being able to wear these bracelets at school should be a right, not a privilege. Teachers, principals, and parents should not take this RIGHT way from these kids.

    The title of this article is "Does the constitution have a heart for boobies?" It was posted in the Los Angeles Times on November 20, 2010. The purpose of this article is to inform adults of schools wearing these wristbands. The main idea of this article is debate whether we should ban the bracelets or embrace them. I think everyone should buy one of those bracelets and support breast cancer. It's a great way to earn money and support breast cancer.

    Thet article called"Does the Constitution have a heart for boobies?"was published on the Los Angeles Times on Nov 20, 2010.The purpose was breast cancer on bracelets that has the words I love boobies (Keep A Breast) representing '‘The Keep A Breast Foundation’'but some children, parents. teacher etc people had other ideas in mind. Several schools banned the wristbands on school grounds. In Pennsylvania a Middle School following the same as well. Students were told around Oct to turn the wristbands inside out. But in a few days later the school announced that they would no longer be allowing thm on campus. Few students and teachers had found them offensive and some boys had been inmature telling girls"I love your boobies.

    "Does the Constitution have a heart for boobies?" is an article posted on the LA Times website. It talking about the "I <3 boobies" bracelets and how many schools are banning them. The reason why they are banning them is because people think they are very rude and innapropriate, even though they are helping breast cancer. I personally think they shouldn't ban them. Even though it says stuff about loving boobies, they shouldn't be banned. They just show how much you support the help for breast cancer.

The purpose of the article is to inform people about the affects that the I <3 boobies wristbands supporting the (Keep A Breast) foundation, are having on schools. The main idea of the article is that some schools are banning people from wearing those wristbands. I think that the wristbands should not be banned because the purpose of them are just to support breast cancer and schools need to get that in their heads.

    In the article, “Does the constitution have a heart for boobies?” printed in the Los Angeles Times, on November 20, 2010, the writer explains how some schools are banning the “I <3 boobies” bracelets. The purpose of this article is to give the reader information about the bracelet controversy. This is written to everyone who is interested in the bracelets and the disagreement. The main idea of this article is to ask, “Is it right to ban these bracelets even though it is for a good cause?” The bracelets may be helping people know about breast cancer. “In five years since the “Keep a Breast Foundation” began its campaign to make young people aware of breast cancer, it has sold more that two million rubber wristbands inscribed with the words.” People want to ban it because some boys are taking it too far and some people find the words offensive. I think it is wrong for some school to ban these bracelets because they are for a great cause.

The article came from The Los Angeles Times andnwas published on November 20, 2010. The purpose of the article is to let people know that these braclets are causing some trouble at schools. The intended audience is to whom it may concern. The main idea is at one school two girls got suspended for a day just for wearing those braclets and if the braclets should be bannned from schools. My reaction is that these bracclet are for a good cause and shouldn't be banned from any schools.

  12. I feel it's inappropriate at school. Our children have enough in their lives already that interferes with their concentration on their school work. That is what they are there for, correct? However, I don't find the wristbands to be the big deal [a harmless chuckle is good for the spirit] unless it becomes sexual harrassment of young girls. What I do find inappropriate at school are:

    1) Shorts on girls higher than low thigh level.
    2) Midriffs on girls that show their stomachs.
    3) Necklines lower than an inch below collarbone.
    4) Tube tops period.
    5) Backless dresses and/or tops.

    I see this constantly at our local high schools. What they wear before and after school is between them and their parents; however, I send my sons to school to learn academics not about soft porn.

    The title of this article is "Does the Constitution have a heart for boobies?" and they did not say who the author is. The article is from Los Angeles Times. This was written on November 2, 2010. The purpose of this article is to inform how the wristband "I ♥ Boobies"(Keep a Breast) may be a distraction to some school across the country. They legally use the money for breast cancer, but the constitution thinks it's a bad idea. The main idea of this is that some school are not letting students wear the wristbands because they think its inappropriate for students in middle school to be wearing them. The intended audience for this article is for everyone. I don't think that they should banned this wristband because it's helping a great cause and it might be disturbing to some people but at least it's supporting breast cancer. I think it's great that people wear them because that means that they just donated the money they used to buy the wristband to 'Keep A Breast Foundation'.

    "Does the Constitution have a heart for boobies?" is the title of an Los Angeles Times article.The 1st amendment has established judicial boundaries regarding freedom of the press, censorship, desecration of the American flag and expressions of obscenity. Five years ago, the Keep A Breast Foundation started its campaign to make young people more aware of breast cancer. One of their capmaign ideas was to make rubber bracets with the words "I ♥ boobies". Over two million of these bracetls were sold, but most of them appeared on the wrists of middle school students. In many cases, the schools banned the bracelets, saying that they were "lewd speech", and may even be a distraction in class. Personally, i think that more of the time the kids are wearing them to be funny, rather then to think that they are raising breast cancer awareness. I also think that they should be allowed to be worn at school, as said in the article "Students' 1st Amendment rights don't end at the school door". I also know a good friend of mine whose mother has struggled through breast cancer, and he too wears the bracelets, but only the raise awareness.

    The article "Does the Constitution have a heart for boobies?".The author is unknown, it was published on the Los Angeles Times on November 20, 2010. The point of the article was to point out how the Breast Cancer bracelets that say "I Love Boobies (Keep A Breast)" is giving the wrong idea to young kids and teens. Instead of showing its a breast cancer bracelet it comes of perverted and immature and people are bringing the 1st amendment (freedom of speech) into this discussion. It is mostly aiming towards adults and teachers and maybe some young adults. People are making a big fuss out of this bracelet and its effects on the community. Even though the bracelet is innaporpriate in some ways it shouldnt be banned it doesnt seem like a good enough reason to ban the product from the school because it can be taken a wrong way students need more common sense. This bracelet is a good way to spread the word about breast cancer and to make money to find a cure, many teenagers and adults buy them and it and i think its helped people see the awareness of breast cancer a little more.

The purpose of this article is the advertising breast cancer awareness on a bracelet that say "I Love Boobies". The main idea is about schools banding these bracelets and if they are constitutional. I don't think it's right to band these bracelets from school because some kids might have family members that have breast cancer and are supporting them.

Just last year my cousin died of breast cancer, and i will not take off the braclet for some stupid school.
