The idea of wearing pink comes from an incident of bullying at Central Kings Rural High School in Nova Scotia where a Grade 9 boy was bullied for wearing pink on his first day. Students David Shepherd, Travis Price and their teenage friends were disgusted by the bullying so they organized a high-school protest to wear pink in support of the bullied student. This gesture is catching on coast to coast. BCCPAC challenges all parent leaders to challenge all the parents in their school community to lead by example and take a stand against bullying by wearing pink on Wednesday, February 27.
