CNN and other news outlets have been running this story about a young kid in Florida who is so smitten with the University of Tennessee that he even created a homemade tee-shirt (i.e., the University’s initials hand drawn on a sheet of paper and pinned to his orange shirt).
Well, as will always happen, he got bullied by poorly raised or simply misguided classmates. When UT heard about it, they quickly send the kid a thank you note with a pile of UT swag. But they took it a step further – they made an ACTUAL tee-shirt out of his design and are selling them online. The proceeds go to anti-bullying programs.
It says a lot about the way we hope the world works. (Alaa Elassar, CNN, September 9, 2019)
