    Sea of Pink

    published on Sun. Sep. 23rd, '07 by Sita Chaitanya

    Here is an uplifting story about two 12th graders at Central Kings Rural High School in Cambridge, Nova Scotia, who fought back in a peaceful way against the bullying of a 9th grade boy who wore a pink shirt on the first day of school.

    They went to a nearby discount store and bought 50 pink shirts, including tank tops, to wear to school the next day.

    Then the two went online to e-mail classmates to get them on board with their anti-bullying cause that they dubbed a "sea of pink."

    But a tsunami of support poured in the next day.

    Not only were dozens of students outfitted with the discount tees, but hundreds of students showed up wearing their own pink clothes, some head-to-toe.

    No one has heard from the bullies since. Just shows what an impact peaceful protest and working together can have.
