[quote=Anonymous]I don't pretend that a school can prevent all bullying or negative "fallout" from a kid not fitting a gender stereotype. So the student and his parents might need to talk at home about the fact he might be teased, and the student himself should decide whether he wants to bring the backpack to school or keep it at home. What the school has no business doing to telling the student he can't bring the backpack--that's tantamount to participation in the bullying. And "the backpack is a distraction" is a poor excuse. It's a distraction if you can't establish order in a classroom, but simply disallowing disruptive behavior. And many teacher's can't. And that's a problem, because if the teacher can't keep a handle on kids' behavior, then its not the character backpack causing disruptive comments, it'll be something else. [/quote]
