Sunny recalled a troubling incident when he was in middle school. “One person actually went so far to insult one of the five K’s by actually taking it off of me. But I confronted the principal about it, and he told me that as soon as he found out who it was, he’d do something about it. But the guy ended up getting kicked out for some other reason, so it didn’t matter.”
