Mon October 28 at 11:26pm I am disgusted, outraged and appalled - and yes, you've seen me this way before.
Can you remember your homecoming dance? If you can, I want you to imagine yourself there. What is it like in your body? What is it like in your life? Maybe, like me, you never went to a homecoming dance, but you can remember what it's like to be 15, 16, 17. You might remember your younger self delighted or tortured or torn between the two. And you probably never had to imagine your classmates watching as you were brutalized while they did nothing.

A few weeks ago Chris posted about the students at a Nova Scotia high school who stood up for a classmate who was teased for being gay because he wore a pink shirt to school. The students organized online and the next morning brought in pink tank tops for everyone.
On the New York side of the border some US high school students went to school with tampons and pads attached to their clothing to protest the humiliation of their female classmates who have been questioned by security guards about whether or not they are menstruating.
