Schools Sink In The Pink

A few years back, a 9th grader came on the first day of school wearing a pink polo shirt. A bunch of older jerks figured this means he is homosexual and that he should be punished and started to make fun of him and even threatened to beat him up. Two 12th grade boys thought "enough is enough" and decided to take a stand against the bullies. The defended the boy and bought several pink clothes from a local department store and contacted a lot of students from their school to wear pink the next day. When the school was covered in a sea of pink (note the title), the bullies didn't say a word to the boy again and the boy was so happy.
I think the 12th grade guys did a really neat job in standing up to those bullies and it was really cool for them to go out of their way to do it. I think the bullies probably didn't mean so much harm because it was the first day of school and everyone is seeing everyone again and they were probably just being immature and showing off, but it wasn't right to do so.
I really don't think that wearing pink is a sign of being gay because everyone wears after girls started saying only real men wear pink. And hey, pink is Superman's favorite color.
