I am so glad I found this story over at Slog. I too wish I knew guys like this when I was in high school. I know you have to be wondering why they are wearing pink shirts.

Well, a fellow classmate (a freshman) wore a pink shirt to the first day of school and was surrounded by bullies who called him horrible names and threatened to beat him up. The two used the Internet, word of mouth, and brought 75 pink shirts for fellow students to wear. The kid who was bullied even got one to wear also. They also brought a pink basketball, pink headbands, and pink arm bands. The boys, David Shepherd and Travis Price, figure about half of the school (there are about 830 kids) wore pink that day.

High school is brutal. I think David and Travis deserve a medal of some sort for what they did. Too often, bullying just gets ignored. It is nice to see someone take a stand.
