Discrimination in different ways
This section is all about accepting others and their choices. Each of the stories or movie, that I have picked somehow, gives out the idea of accepting others.

The job of a principal is to protect the students that attend their school. Another thing that was said by Jamie’s principal was, “If he doesn’t want to be bullied, then he shouldn’t be so openly gay.” (Bullied). For a principal to say this..is awful. This shows that this principal is discriminating against Jamie as well, just like Jamie’s own peers. In high school, one teacher even supported
