Earlier this week, I wrote about a 9-year-old North Carolina boy who was being teased at school for wearing a “girlie” My Little Pony backpack to school. Administrators at Hyatt Elementary initially tried to solve the problem by telling Grayson Bruce to not wear his beloved backpack, telling him was a “trigger for bullying.”
But then a social media firestorm ensued. Grayson’s mom, Noreen Bruce, launched a Support for Grayson Facebook page, attracting over 70,000 fans, and people all over the world wrote in messages telling the boy that his love for My Little Pony is awesome. Men posted images of themselves holding pony dolls. Media outlets across the country picked up the story and it sounds like the folks over at Hyatt Elementary heard the outcry because they’ve changed their minds and are letting Grayson wear his Rainbow Dash backpack to school.

I know, right? What 9 year old little boy really wants to carry a My Little Pony backpack?
I don’t care for My Little Pony, but bullies need there teeth kicked in.
The way I see it, the other kids will either teach him to leave it at home or he’ll teach the other kids to leave him alone.
And when the kid is on his knees in a rest stop men’s room, with a size 13 sphincter and 4 raging STDs and a meth habit, the parents will be SO proud they were progressive.
<< a “trigger for bullying.” >>
Is that like telling a young girl how they dress is a “trigger” for harassment (or worse)?
In other words, we’re blaming the victim for what might happened to them?
Typical liberal-think :-(
Hagel will probably now make them standard issue for the infantry.
And how do you know about sphincter sizes?
Soooo, teasing is now bullying?
The wussification of America continues.
I think they were all wrong about this
All this hatred for a little nine year old boy is a bit over the top.
setting this kid up for repeated failure his whole life...because he's certainly failing the "how to win friends and influence people" school.
Just make sure he doesn’t wear an American flag T shirt! Or NRA or Christian or pro-life or ...
It probably wasn’t the school’s prerogative to tell the kid what backpack he should carry around; even though their advice was probably right.
honestly, the kid would have outgrown the show in a few months.
Now he will forever be known as the boy you loved my pretty pony
I think the parents are probably more internet geek savvy than the school or the other children.

It's interesting how many people choose to ignore reality, like corrupt cops, Mob owned city governments, and the Ultimate Outfit Dream, a Mob controlled Federal government in the White House.
If kids are not teased and bullied how are they going to learn to straighten up their act or to defend themselves if the act is already straight. Of course this “anti-bully” agenda is scientifically designed to produce abnormal adults incapable of defending themselves.
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that mama has been (cros) dressing her little 9-year old boy in little girls clothes at home since birth. Further it wouldn't surprise me to learn that mama is probably a single mom and raising her little male child all alone. If so then what a fine roll model she is turning out to be. (Ooooops, this was all so PC incorrect wasn't it).
My goodness. Who knew My Little Pony backpacks were so destructive?
