Eaton Primary suggests board games for girls, football for boys, sparking justified outrage. Segregation in schools never ends well.
FO Take · Score 10
Eaton Primary’s regressive directive is not merely tone-deaf; it actively sabotages progress. Childhood is for challenging stereotypes, nurturing diverse interests, and ensuring equitable development. Confining girls to board games while boys play football codifies harmful gender roles. We thought we were past this. What century is this school operating in.
The strongest counter
It is likely an innocent attempt to cater to perceived differences in interests, not an endorsement of sexism. Not every decision is a battleground.
