Ginger Kids

Ginger kids. What can I say? They are beautiful and special especially because their genes are recessive and there are not that many of them.

There's always someone who wants to beat up the minority. A person who needs a reason to hurt the weaker of us.

"Kick a Ginger Day" inspired by South Park, which, we all know is a show for the more common and simpler folk. They make fun of a lot of people's differences.

Well, some seventh and eight graders in Southern California took it seriously and beat up a 12-year-old boy for the color of his hair.

You know what this says to me? It says middle school is hard. And young people's hearts are harder. Like the famous western, there are the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and this incident is the Ugly.

Having a ginger kid as a brother, I know all about their supposed temper (which isn't true) and I know about the small stigmas which come from having red hair. Well, here I declare they don't exist. They are remnants of a more foolish era.

We love all our redheaded kids. How's that Southern California?
