Gilbert High School has banned a cheerleading squad trying to raise money for breast-cancer research from wearing their pink shirts because the administration contends they carry an objectionable slogan.
The shirts, which say "Gilbert cheer" on the front and "Feel for lumps, save your bumps" on the back, were bought for the 56 freshman, junior varsity and varsity cheerleaders for $470, said Gayleen Skowronek, the cheer booster-club president.
The girls planned to wear the shirt at Friday's football game and the next home football game as they cheered and then walk around to collect money from the crowd.
Here's a picture of the banned shirt. Would the school principal be happy if the word "bumps" was changed to "breasts"? Unbelievable! Isn't this a violation of Free Speech? Mr. Santa Cruz should be ashamed of himself.
