By Matthew McCully – In 2007, a Grade 9 student in Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. Two other students from the school took it upon themselves to take a stand against bullying. They went to a discount store and bought 50 pink tank tops. The next day, they handed them out to their fellow students to wear in solidarity with the bullied boy. Over the years that gesture has evolved into a national campaign; Pink Shirt Day, held on Feb.27 each year, against bullying. Many schools across the Eastern Townships School Board participate by wearing pink. Published in the Thursday, Feb. 28 edition of The Record.
