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."

i understand it being against school policy, but i also think this is a great breast cancer slogan!

My favorite until now was "Save the Ta-Tas." But this is better.

The school is overreacting, but I had to deal with similar "oversensitivity" when I designed a T-shirt for our annual fund-raising triathlon and I had the logos of our two main sponsors on the T-shirt front. Despite the fact that both logos were rectangular (and thus in no way appear like breasts or nipples) someone complained about it and my PC female commanding officer nixed the shirt.

Dr Colenso is a remarkable person having sailed to Australia short handed.
