Why is discrimination accepted in today’s society? Why should people get away with saying what they want and putting people down because they are different? There are all-different kinds of discrimination in today’s society for many it is because of the way they dress or of the music they listen to.
For others it is the background they come from or even the colour of their skin. But mainly in today’s society it is because of their sexual preferences. But why are these things just accepted even in our schools by just walking down a corridor or passing a room you can hear the abuse being yelled towards people and figureheads ignoring the problem?
These are the main issues that should be addressed - not the state of uniforms or hair styles. Attention should be directed towards stopping the abuse and discrimination around today.
Understandably discrimination doesn’t just take place in schools, its in the streets and around everywhere but I believe that it is up to the schools to put an end to the abuse and discrimination as they can get the message through and keep pushing it.
There are lots of different ways in which the schools can help - there are many different organisations such as the rainbow project who can help with acceptance and even places like Samaritans are willing to help with the issues so why not get them involved?
