| Fundraising T-Shirts Banned At School Fundraising T-Shirts Banned At School - News Story - KCTV Kansas City SALINA, Kan. -- Two Salina Central High School seniors designed T-shirts to raise money for breast cancer awareness, but an assistant principal banned one of the designs from school. Haley Wenthe's mother died from breast cancer five years ago, and Jessica Sheahon's mom recently completed chemotherapy. So they set out to raise $10,000 during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But Assistant Principal Linn Exline told them that one of the designs crossed the line and she forbid the shirts from being sold or worn at school. The shirts bear the phrase "Save 2nd Base" with a pair of baseballs over the wearers' breasts. Officials said the shirts violate the district's dress code, which bans clothing with an "implied indecent meaning." The girls explain that "2nd Base" refers to making out that involves touching girls' breasts. The idea isn't original -- it's the trademark of a Pennsylvania group named for a mother who died from breast cancer last year. Shirts can be ordered through the Salina Journal Web site.

| I hate to say this as a 22 year old, but it is a little too risque' for high school students. I'm all for the shirts and the slogan, but c'mon, there's enough teen pregnancies as it is.

Males don't need any encouragement but if women and girls are stupid enough to believe the 3 big lies then the guys will keep using them. Don't blame guys for it when it's just as much the girls' fault.

Of course it's not nice of ANY person to play games like that, but if someone is willing to keep falling for it... than they pretty much bring it on themselves
