[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just had that thread about a boy whose father didn't want him to have a My Little Pony birthday cake.

Now comes this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/21/grayson-bruce-school_n_5008131.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular

[i]"Grayson Bruce, the 9-year-old boy who gained national attention after being told he couldn’t wear his My Little Pony backpack to school, received good news this week.

According to a statement posted on the Buncombe County (North Carolina) School District’s Facebook page, the decision to ban the student’s backpack has been reversed."[/i]

Article goes on to say that the district was concerned because the backpack is a "trigger for bullying."

So, here is where I am getting lost: Why would a boy be bullied for wearing a My Little Pony backpack? Tons of boys like My Little Pony, and there are entire groups of men who are into it called "bronies." I'm really, really confused why this was an issue at all?
