When a reporter wore a grape costume to support a boy suspended for wearing a banana suit.

During a school halftime, 14 year old Bryan, who has autism, ran across the football field in a banana costume because he wanted to make people smile. Instead of treating it as a harmless moment, the school suspended him.

Pat Collins from News4 covered the story and was so frustrated by the punishment that he showed up dressed as a giant grape to stand with Bryan. That gesture sparked something. Students began wearing bright yellow shirts that said Free Banana Man to support their friend.

The school shut that down too. They banned the shirts, took them away, and even gave students detention for showing support.
