Parents worried that their children would be marginalized by their
peers at school. They gave examples in which they were singled out
because of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation,
language, religion, or disabilities. They identified others who
were picked out because of their family's income, immigration
status, association with the armed services, or attitudes towards
medical issues. The parents were assured that changes were in the
works to protect marginalized students. They reviewed changes to
curricula, instruction, textbooks, disciplinary strategies,
counseling techniques, tests, school-sponsored events, school
terminology, athletic competitions, restroom policies, dress codes,
disability policies, and extracurricular activities. Many parents
had confidence in these changes. However, some were skeptical. The
two groups argued with each other at local schoolboard meetings.
They escalated their arguments after attracting the attention of
journalists, scholars, and elected officials.
