World Pink Shirt Day:
Two Nova Scotia students are being praised across North America for the way they turned the tide against the bullies who picked on a fellow student for wearing pink.
The victim - a Grade 9 boy at Central Kings Rural High School in the small community of Cambridge - wore a pink polo shirt on his first day of school.
Bullies harassed the boy, called him a homosexual for wearing pink and threatened to beat him up, students said.
Two Grade 12 students - David Shepherd and Travis Price - heard the news and decided to take action.
"I just figured enough was enough," said Shepherd.
