Cheerleaders from Gilbert, Arizona were banned from wearing their breast cancer awareness shirts to school and football games. The Varsity and Junior Varsity team made 56 pink shirts that said "Feel for lumps, save your bumps" on the back and "Gilbert Cheer" on the front. In attempt to raise money for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation they were going to selling the shirts to the fans. All the girls wanted to do was raise money, but the principle said that if they wear them to football games then they would be suspended. The girls fought, but the principle kept fight back saying that they weren't school appropriate, and offered them a deal, he would give them pink shirts that were plain and they could wear those, but if they wore the original ones they’d be suspended. So the girls did as they were told, and they sold the shirts to the fans hoping to raise money that way. I think that this whole thing is crazy, and blown out of proportion.
I agree with you! They were trying to do a good thing by raising money for breast cancer awareness. Its a good thing that at least they are aware and trying to do something though!
