Support Star Wars and Geek Pride for Katie
Katie is a first grade girl who has been teased for bringing her Star Wars water bottle into school because the boys in her class say Star Wars is only for boys. Since her mother posted the story on the web, people of all ages have read and commented to show support for the girl to like whatever she darn well pleases.
Let’s really give her something to smile about. Today, wear a Star Wars tee shirt or any other piece of paraphernalia to show that you support Katie, Star Wars, anti-bullying, or at the very least, cool water bottles. If you don’t have any, be creative.
Invite everyone you know. Let’s show Katie and those boys at school how much support she has.
For more on Katie’s story visit her facebook page.
