  Case: Transgender Empathy/Rights
There is a male student at my school who likes to wear nail polish and lipstick. Many of the teachers see this as a class distraction. How can teachers minimize distractions in the class without infringing upon the students' beliefs/feelings/rights?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
A school should be a place where students feel safe and comfortable to express themselves. It is important to not draw additional attention to this boy so that his classmates don't see him as a distraction.

Comments: How can you expand on not drawing attention to other students? If this was expanded more I might agree, but of course every student should express themselves so they feel comfortable.

Comments: While this post is fairly strong overall I think it would benefit from noting the harm that could come from drawing additional attention to the child beyond the impact it might have to the classroom.

Comments: While i do agree that a school should be a welcoming place, not drawing attention to the child in question will not help them as the students themselves will find a way to make them the center of the class. whether it be bad or good, we should see them as normal since everyone is different.

Comments: Great point. It is also unnecessary. Do you say the same things to your non male students who wear makeup and paint their nails?
