Boy is bullied for his pink T-shirt: When I see his teacher the next day, my heart breaks
Nine-year-old William Gierke from Wisconsin came home heartbroken after being bullied for wearing a pink T-shirt that said “Tough Guys Wear Pink,” supporting breast cancer charity. His classmates called him a “sissy,” making him dread going back to school.
However, his teacher, David Winter, noticed the bullying and wore a pink shirt the next day to show solidarity with William. This small but powerful gesture made a significant impact, helping William feel more comfortable and resilient.
No child should face bullying for their clothing, and this teacher’s support for William deserves recognition.
