So if you haven't heard about this incident yet I'll give a brief outline;
Grayson Bruce is a nine year old boy who is a fan of the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic series had a backpack that he wore to school. Well it made him the subject of bullying at school because he was wearing it. What did the school do? Ban the backpack instead of dealing with the bullying directly.
Okay even coming off of this as a brony I my sound biased, but this isn't the way the school to handle this for so many reasons.
They didn't do much of anything by doing this. He can still get bullied and made fun for this. The school is also saying that it's his fault for bringing that to this school at all. Yes, it's odd to the general public to see this sight. However he's just expressing his love for the show, and is anything wrong with that?
It's just really sad that this situation was treated poorly. The mother of the child did pull him out of school, and started homeschooling him so luckily bullying won't be an issue with school anymore. We've already had an incident where an 11 year old boy tried committing suicide when being bullied over liking the show. He ended up in the hospital in a coma due to brain damage. Gladly though the fans pulled together and started a fund for him, and quickly spread the word to the point where major news companies started covering it.
Really though is there no end to this bullying to the point of what kids wear makes them a target? It's pretty saddening to hear, and even if you aren't a fan of the show at all this is something you just really don't want to hear.
I've rambled on long enough so voice your opinions. Was the school in the right, should the mom had kept for son from wearing the backpack out in public, or do you agree that this was handled poorly?
