Greetings! We recently completed our chapter on Gender. In the news of late a student at Alpharetta High School was removed from the student council for proposing the consideration of gay couples as prom king and queen.
Story
In Canada, a contestant was banned from the Miss Universe contest, as she was born a man.
Story
Do positions like prom king and queen and Miss Universe demand the participants be gender specific in our society?

Greetings! I read this story and knew it had to go on our discussion board.
Please comment on any portion of this story that caught your attention.
An Acworth woman is charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, for allegedly driving her underage daughter to a pre-arranged fight with another girl.
Cobb County Police say the girls had set up the fight by texting each other, and on the evening of March 12; forty-one-year-old Natalie Fequiere allegedly took two carloads of relatives and friends to an address on Odessa West Inlet.
She reportedly fled when she found out someone had called the cops, but was arrested several days later. A relative has been charged with attacking the rival girl.

Welcome to Walmart!
Sam Walton believed customers appreciate a friendly greeting, thus he established the position of Greeter for his mega retail chain, Wlamart. Three decades later the iconic Walmart Greeter will no longer welcome Walmart customers with a shopping cart and a smile. Moe’s Southwest Grill, encourages multiple employees to shout, “Welcome to Moe’s!” This practice can be a little over the top. Nonetheless, it’s intended as a unique welcome to their establishment.
Please state why or why not you think a personal greeting at retail stores and restaurants is a good practice.
