Pink shirts and agritainment

Warm fuzzy alert.

A 9th grade boy in Nova Scotia showed up for his first day of high school wearing a pink shirt. When the bullies started picking on him, called him gay, and threatened to beat him up, two 12th graders who had once been bullied themselves organized a pink shirt campaign.

Two days later, more than 400 kids showed up at school wearing pink shirts.

In Michigan, a farmer designed his corn maze to look like a portrait of Gerald Ford. It's only one feature of the "agritainment" he offers visitors. There's also an orchard where you can pick your own apples and a pumpkin patch.
