Gov. Deval Patrick has designated Jan. 25 as “No Name Calling Day” as part of the state’s anti-bullying efforts, and Wellesley Middle School plans to take part. The idea of a “No Name Calling Week” was inspired by James Howe’s young adult novel, The Misfits.
Among other things, Wellesley Middle School students will be asked to wear black and write down a name they have been called, with a line through it, and the words will be transferred to a wall display at the school.
Sounds like a convention of tree-hugging wooses.
