Wednesday Wellness - Feel for Lumps, Save Your Bumps

An Arizona high school has banned its cheerleaders from wearing pink T-shirts that read, 'Feel for lumps, save your bumps.' >

Have you been following this controversy?

A team of high school cheerleaders made up these shirts to wear while collecting money for Susan G. Komen March for the Cure.  But guess what?  The principal banned the shirts from school.  I gotta wonder if he knows how prevalent breast cancer is, and that it can be detected early by doing self-exams? 

Undeterred, the girls have gone on to sell the shirts on a national scale.  More power to you girls!!!
