Goodness in the world

On another bright note, not all is horrible in the world. These kids in Nova Scotia deserve a huge pat on the back for sticking up for someone when they could have turned their backs. Their parents should be beaming with pride.

I’ve stood around too long’Central Kings students wear pink to send bullies a message
CAMBRIDGE — 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."I made sure there was a shirt for him," David said.
