Red looks wonderful on the Duchess, doesn’t it? And they are calling attention to something which I find of great importance: stopping the cyber bullying! As a teacher, I have seen first-hand how devastating a hateful posting can be on a young person’s life. Kudos to them for focusing on the responsibility we have to stop it.
