It's this kind of stuff that makes me lose my faith in humanity. When it feels like we've made a few steps forward, this is just a tremendous stride backwards.

Definitely participating.

I hear you, definitely. They're so young. :(

I have reposted it, and will be donning purple on the 20th! My friend joyful gave me this tip on my LJ, though:

"BTW, the person who made the graphic didn't get permission from the families to use the likenesses of the minors, so somebody's created an image free graphic: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p300/JoyfulKittie/spirit_day.png

It's an awesome sentiment, but they were kids, and if their parents don't want them turned into poster boys, I totally understand."

I went ahead and changed the image on mine. Anyway, thanks for letting us know about this!

I changed it. Definitely want to give those grieving families respect. I mean, I think it hits people more when they see their faces, how young and normal they were, but I'd sacrifice that for giving peace of mind any day. *nods*
