These Fifth Graders Who Stood Up for a Bullied First Grader Are the Coolest
Fifth Graders Ever

EDIT Insert: quote from below article:
"And Danny, what you have is called style."
you're prepping your annual list of things you're thankful for, here's
something: Be thankful that there are kids in the world as inspiring,
thoughtful and just plain awesome as these guys.
Danny Keefe is a first grader from Bridgewater, Mass., and he is the
waterboy for the school's fifth grade football team. Danny also suffered a
brain hemorrhage after he was born and has some speech issues.
Some kids at his school had been picking on him for that-and the fact that
he wears a tie and jacket every day-so 45 of Danny's friends decided to
stand up and show their support for him.
The boys decided to all wear jackets and ties to school.
"We heard that Danny was getting picked on, so we thought that we would all
have a day to dress up like Danny," one classmate tells Boston's WCVB-TV,
before breaking into tears. "To show Danny that we love him, that we love
him very much."
Faith in humanity? Restored. If this kind of attitude continues, we can
change the meaning of that saying "kids will be kids" to mean that kids are
respectful, brave and stand up for what's right. That'd be a cool world to
live in.
And Danny, what you have is called style.
"Before he went to bed, he was crying," Danny's mom says. "And I said,
'What's the matter?' And he said he felt very loved."
