Central Kings students wear pink to send bullies a message

I love this story!

Two students at Central  Kings Rural High School fought back against bullying recently, unleashing a sea of pink after a new student was harassed and threatened when he showed up  wearing a pink shirt.
 
The Grade 9 student arrived for the first day of school last  Wednesday and was set upon by a group of six to 10 older students who mocked him, called him a homosexual for  wearing pink and threatened to beat him  up.

The next day, Grade 12 students David Shepherd and Travis Price decided something had to be done about bullying.
 
"It’s my last year. I’ve stood around too long and I wanted to  do something," said David.
 
They used the Internet to encourage people to wear pink and bought 75 pink tank tops for male students to wear. They handed out the shirts in the lobby before class last Friday — even the bullied student had  one.
