Sue the school district for personal income or because it's the right thing to do?

Sometimes I am just completely outraged at the reasons why school districts are being sued. Now, some I totally understand. For example when the father of that one girl sued over having the words "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Good for them, fighting for what they believe in.

Then there was one case a few weeks ago where a father sued the school district for teaching about slavery because he had a little black daughter that was teased after learning about it. When I first read about the story, I thought it was ridiculous that he would sue the school district for teaching about something that is a huge part of US history. Then, i read another article that said he didn't like that they read from a book that kept saying the "n" word. I started loosening up after that and now I need to hear more about the case. Slavery is a real thing that happened and a part of history, but I can see why the father would actually be upset and sue.
Here's one of the articles in case you are interested.

But then there are other cases where I just think, are parents really suing the school over this because they think it's right or because they're unemployed and need some money? No really, some cases I just don't understand. This is the latest one that really think is dumb.

Here's the story from my side. Some kids have been wearing one of those cheap rubber bracelets that allow people to "express themselves". Bull. Yeah, so Lance Armstrong had a cool idea with his "Livestrong" bracelets to raise money for cancer and it really did have a good meaning behind the bracelet. But I think this rubber bracelet thing has gone too far. Two middle school students in PA were sentenced to in school suspension for wearing "I (heart) boobies" bracelet to school. Now the school district is being sued for violating their first amendment right to free speech.

Now, what do I think about that?

That's absurd! Next thing you know, all the students will be wearing racial slurs on their t-shirts because it's "free speech". Heck, let's add pornographic shirts to the list and call it "Love the human body: a beautiful creation". But you know what? Those kids need their free speech! Bologna! The only reason to make this even close to being okay is because these bracelets are for a non-profit organization that is to help fight breast cancer. Now, there's another problem there. Why couldn't they think of another phrase? "Let's fight breast cancer together" maybe or anything else. I'll tell you what. If you ask any middle school or high school male what "I (heart) boobies" means, I doubt fighting breast cancer is the first thing that will come out of their mouth. I would spell out what I think the obvious would be, but I think you get the idea.
