I am trying to figure out what problem you have with that statement. Would you send your son to school with that backpack? If not then Shut The frick up. Dumbass.

If my son wanted to have a my little pony or a Dora backpack to wear to school then fine, who the hell cares? He's fricking 9 and you assholes here with your high and mighty shite wanna act like its the world's greatest travesty for a kid to have a damn "girlie" backpack.
If the school has no policy against certain backpacks, i.e. ever student has a plain colored backpack then there is absolutely nothing wrong with the boy having that backpack.
The issue is the bullies at the school, not what kind of backpack he has. You douchebags sound like the same people that said kids couldn't wear a US flag inspired tshirt on cinco de mayo.

I think someone should sit with the boy and explain the hierarchy of Supers to him.
In the grand scheme, the fruity ponies are dead last in a list that include Pokemon, Power Rangers, Transformers, and other more masculine forms.
They are weak, and therefore aligning yourself with such draws the assumption that you are as well.

In a perfect world this would be okay, unfortunately we don't live in one. We still live in the real world. In the real world you don't send your son to school with a girls backpack and bring unwanted attention to your child. Being a child is hard enough as it is without adding bonehead parenting to the mix. So again you pussy shut the frick up.

This boy should have something a little more suited for him. The school needs to punish these bullies; the boy needs to learn how to fight and defend himself.

Don't try to make it something it isn't. You were being an a-hole.

the kids in his class will care
this is one of those life lessons you have to learn at an early age: if you want to be different, you will be persecuted. that's the cost of individuality. if you can't handle that, then conform. if he wants to wear it, then fine, but he has to learn the costs.

that actually is a reverse scenario, i believe (which i don't agree with, either). the US flag group was the majority there

I was thinking this is a good character building exercise, assuming the kid confidently persisted through the harassment. It could backfire though.

if you wan to be different, you have to face the opposition of being different

If you go back a few pages I provided a link to the washpo article about it. The US flag waving kids were not only in the minority, but were suspended from school for not taking off the flag shirts.
In my eyes, it's the same mentality. Some kids find something offensive, bully the kid wearing it. School wants to protect kid, so they tell poor kid to do whatever the offended kids want. It's the ultimate school sponsored appeasement exercise.

It's called social skills. Im not saying everyone should be frat stars, but if you draw that kid of attention to yourself expect those kinds of results. Not saying the kid deserves to be picked on but what did the parent(s) expect? It's been that way forever.

individuality and being different has a cost
there is a segment of the population who refuses to accept this, and believes that individuality should have no cost
it's the "unicorn" segment of society who wants a lot of things they consider positive but at no cost to them

The people who don't see this act like they don't look at people funny for standing out for other reasons. Be it neck tattoos, walking around in public barefoot, being a catholic/Jew/atheist... Everyone has something that they look down upon.
This may not be a big deal to them, but there's things out there that they laugh at. Unless of course they were saints in school. I'm sure a lot of people were.

I agree, if the kid wants to be different than he must pay the cost.
Posted on 3/16/14 at 1:15 pm to heartbreakTiger
The problem I have is it seems like innocent originality has a higher cost than harmful ignorance, in this case and in a lot of others. There should be a much harsher consequence for being ignorant to the point that you engage in physical abuse of someone who isn't like you.
I don't want my kid to put himself in that sort of situation, and probably would be against him using a girlie bag like mlp, but I'd rather him like dolls and unicorns than be a mongoloid punk who harms people that are different because he's too stupid to express himself in other ways.

well at 9 years old bullies are more likely to be physical. once they get older it will become more verbal abuse for the kid and he will continue to be a social outcast thanks to him having shitty parent(s).
