School bans pink shirts from pep rally

School spirit is high at Whitman Hanson Regional High School as students gear up for a big football game against Abington Thanksgiving day. But at this year's pep rally, held just two days before kickoff, there's one tradition that won't be the same. The attire.

In years past, seniors wore black, juniors wore red, sophomores wore white and freshmen wore pink. But a new principal says he is not a fan of the color pink because he says leads to teasing.

He is asking students to wear school colors instead. Jeffrey Szymaniak says it's his job to create an environment where kids can feel comfortable and safe.

Banning the color pink from pep rallies, he says, is just one of several policies the school is implementing following the passage of antibullying legislation in May.

Be proud and love PINK

Wow, that's retarded on so many levels. My school had colors for each grade-level for pep rally days too, but none were pink

Oh wtf. Okay, it's good that the school has a strict anti-bullying thing going on, but this is just ridiculous. You don't mess with tradition this way~~! And yeah, pink might make you crazy, but it's a fun colour~~~

Kind of reminds me how earlier this year, a Norwegian soccer team weren't allowed to wear their special pink uniforms (they were made specially to support breast cancer awareness) for the cup final. They'd played the entire season wearing those pink uniforms, but were suddenly not allowed to wear them when they made it to the final. It was just ridiculous. :/

okay, this is quite ridiculous no matter what um hell we all have school traditions and if it suppose to show pride let them do so, its called TRADITION, like anything leave it up to someone to destroy it.  However, understandably it happens but reason why we cheer for our school and proudly sing whatever songs we usually have like the alma mater or fight song
