The first season of the new MLP was pretty darn good depicting fairly entertaining characters with flaws. All the characters worked at occupations that they loved, dealing with problems that can come up with friends and problems that can come up on the job like dealing with picky clients.
Popularity ruined it. The librarian character has become yet another pretty princess and it’s just another kid’s fantasy show now
Kids have ways of enforcing their social norms that are a bit crude and heavy-handed. They lack the subtlety normally associated with adult enforcement of social norms.
A problem we have with society is that we no longer recognize a number of social norms that are highly desireable. Thirty years ago, the idea of “gay marriage” would have been against all social norms. So we coddle the “my little pony” backpack kid. Sorry, boys should NOT have “my little pony” backpacks. It’s just wrong.
I feel sorry for the kid, I don’t like bullying, but he needs to get his act together and not wear a “my little pony” backpack. It does make him a target, as well it should. Get the kid a Call of Duty backpack instead.
And you need to keep you 9 year old boy away from every single one of them.
With a name like Grayson Bruce, the kid should have a Batman and Robin backpack.
Curious what the response would be if he had an American flag backpack and latino bangers were beating him.
My child would be sent to that class with a nice new book bad with a cross and “Jesus Saves” emblazoned on it....and I’d dare any administrator to deny him that right.
1. If he wants to wear a My Little Pony backpack then he can. The school shouldn’t have told him he couldn’t. It’s possible they were actually trying to help him but more likely they’re just trying to make their own jobs easier.
2. Other kids shouldn’t try to hurt him physically because of it but some will. They should be punished if caught.
3. Shame, all this could be avoided by just a little guidance from a father figure. He needs a daddy to tell him, “Son, don’t act like a fag.” That’s never going to happen so now other little boys will do his missing father’s job for him. Great job, mom.

There is no way my Dad would have let me wear that thing. What is the matter with parents these days?
I saw no mention of a father.
Can he put a Confederate flag sticker on it?
“Grayson Bruce”
Boy, that name alone will entice bullies, I wouldn’t risk the backpack too if I were him.
I don't know how much of this is about the show and how much is for some other purpose. The parents knew what would happen. Seems to me they intended this to happen for some other reason. Could it be the "gay rights" nonsense?
The show doesn't have any sex of any kind in it. And so far, there have been no encoded messages or any kind. I would have noticed if there were.
He need to be given a marine backpack and an ammo belt for his pencils, markers and weapons.
