Pink T-Shirts a No-No for School Kids

Central Kings students sent bullies a message, got beat up by their classmates for wearing pink.
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.
