“Students can wear ‘I ♥ Boobies’ bracelets; Judge: Easton middle school students’ jewelry is not lewd or disruptive.” The Morning Call of Allentown, Pennsylvania has this news update.

And The Associated Press reports that “‘Boobies’ bracelets ruled OK in Pa. school for now.”

I have posted online today’s opinion and order of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Now researchers can undertake to ascertain whether any previously issued judicial opinion makes more frequent use of the symbol.
