OT: Response by UT to student bullied for homemade Tennessee t-shirt

[SU2NASA]

Fantastic story to restore your faith in humanity. Great job on the part of the University of Tennessee - can't win on the field, might as well win off of it

After a student was bullied for wearing a homemade University of Tennessee T-shirt, the college released an official version of the design

It was recently college colors day at an elementary school in Florida. Without gear of his own, one UT fan created his own shirt on short notice.

I posted the story on our board because it's really a superb job by the Tennessee folks. A Vol friend of a poster on our board told him that they already have orders for 16,000 of the shirts.

Or find a young SU can to do so. I'd have it in a heartbeat and wear it prouder than any other SU gear I owned

Man, getting $200k worth of education in today's dollars (Tennessee out-of-state is $49k per year) in exchange for an embarrassing 4th grade moment is a solid trade-off. Good for that kid.

Apparently the same thing that happened to empathy...
