US Supreme Court removes school 'boobies' bracelet ban

The US Supreme Court has rejected an appeal which sought to ban students in Pennsylvania from wearing controversial breast cancer awareness bracelets.

The Easton Area School District had prevented youths from wearing bracelets emblazoned with "I (heart) Boobies!", alleging the words were lewd.

Two students legally challenged the ban in 2010, citing freedom of speech.

The US court's decision leaves in place an earlier ruling by a federal appeals court overturning the ban.
