..I should have also said that with this particular story/case, I do think there seems to be an 'attention' aspect..or at least I personally don't think the mother has chosen the right way to bring any awareness..although I do feel that children of that age, other children at the playschool probably wouldn't think for more than a few minutes about what a child wore, it's not just the children in these cases, in fact in my experiences, it's mostly the parents and what they say and how they judge and their prejudice etc and that is inevitably passed down to the child so if it was my child, I would indeed worry about bullying/name calling etc and wouldn't subject my child of that age to that..and it is at that age a parent's decision what a child wears...I also think that however she handled the situation with the playschool, she has also now made this a 'national' thing and her son's picture is everywhere on the internet for people to judge and people will judge...I think she could have 'raised awareness' if indeed that's what she wanted to do with much more thought to her son...
