It's very disheartening to hear so many people being fired from their workplaces due to their race or personal beliefs. This is the 21st century, legally employers should have to give a reason. While this approach isn't foolproof, it's would make it harder to fire someone for those reasons.
On another note, I remember how when I was a kid during 'wet play' (which sounds kind of dirty now I think about it but it actually just means it was raining outside), we had to stay indoors.
They split up the boys and girls with the boys playing lego and the girls colouring and talking. I enjoyed both so switched between the two. The boys and the teacher treated me like I didn't belong because I was a girl and the girls isolated me because they thought it was weird.
I don't know if it's still the case in schools, I sincerely hope not.
