Arizona Cheerleaders Cause Community Stir With Breast Cancer Awareness Shirts

This story, shared today by Debbie Woodbury, war­rants ML Annals of Pink inclusion:

The Arizona Republic reports on a divided com­munity in Gilbert, AZ. At issue is the high school cheer­leading team’s plan to wear pink tee shirts with the slogan: “Feel for lumps — save your bumps” on the back. The group’s intention was to raise awareness and funds for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. 

The school’s prin­cipal said no to the con­tro­versial outfits due to their “unac­ceptably sug­gestive” content.

What strikes me, among other inter­esting aspects of this story and what it reflects about BC awareness in 2011, is how the argu­ments (so needless!) about fundraising play out so dif­fer­ently, depending where you live and the news­papers you might read.
