Much ado about pink zebra flats

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/12/17/1171278/-Much-ado-about-pink-zebra-flatsSam is 5. Sam's favorite animal is the zebra. And just a few months ago, Sam began pre-school.
Sam's mom took him to the shoe store to get a new pair of shoes for the first day of classes. And after a search of the store Sam found what he truly wanted: a pair of pink zebra-patterned ballet flats. Told by his mother that those were shoes for girls, Sam insisted anyway that they were the shoes he had to have. In Sam's words,
Ninjas can wear pink shoes too.
his mother relented. She even a picture showing how happy he was in his new shoes.
Then Sam's older sibling posted the photo to Facebook (it has since been removed). And all hell broke loose. Comments...from adults, mind you...got way out of hand.
