I heard on the MRHS announcements this morning that tomorrow (Wednesday, Oct. 20) some in our school will be wearing purple.
A worthy way to exercise your First Amendment rights. Now if I can find something purple...
From USA Today:
Youths, adults sign on to wear purple, support gay teens:
"When Tammy Aaberg wears her purple T-shirt that says "End the Hate" on Wednesday, she'll be thinking of her son Justin. He killed himself after he was bullied at school for being gay."
If you are interested in becoming more involved in this issue, a good place to start might be with the The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. Or our school's very own Gay/Straight Alliance.
