Pink Shirts Banned at High School For Anti-Bullying Measure

Pink shirts have been banned at Whitman Hanson Regional—a decision that has broken a long held tradition at the high school.

New principal Jeffrey Szymaniak has banned students from wearing the color at the pep rally prior to the big football game against Abington Thanksgiving day because he wears the color will lead to teasing.
