ADVICE | IN THE NEWS

No girls allowed

 
A Dallas school district recently took their students to a local Cineplex. A day at the movies, you say? What fun! Well, unless you’re a girl who happens to like action-adventure stories.

 

You see, the Dallas Independent School District took about 5,700 fifth-grade guys to watch Red Tails, a movie about black fighter pilots during World War II. The girls stayed home and caught a different flick, Akeelah and the Bee, newser.com reports.

 

Now we don’t have anything against Akeelah. In fact, we’re pretty big fans. But what we’re wondering is why couldn’t the girls watch a movie about fighter pilots, too? A representative of the district said that the boys were taken because there wasn’t enough room in the movie theater for all of the students, and officials thought the boys would enjoy the movie more than their female counterparts.

 

Huh.

 

Apparently this isn’t the first time this particular school district has divided the sexes for gender-specific events.

 

Perhaps the most interesting note of all, though, is the subject matter of the film. Red Tails is about the Tuskegee Airmen, the first group of black aviators who flew for the U.S. military. These brave men were not allowed to fight alongside white men, yet they served despite the glaring inequality. Hmm…

 

What do you think of this sitch, sweeties?

Stupid sexist schools that's all I have to say

by firefox101 on 5/1/2012 9:02:30 AM

 
 

Wow, that really is sexist. They should have at least asked the girls if they wanted to see it. A simple "Hands up if you're a girl and you wanna see this" would suffice in my opinion.

Hey, I like action movies as much as my brother. Maybe more.

they were probably seeing red tails due to black history month, and i would have loved to see that movie being a girl, but i do have to say that i know pleantly of girls who would have used that time for extra nap time or texting time or time to get out of school, im not saying its right for them to classify all girls like this but i do see where they are coming from

by fresh princess on 2/26/2012 11:24:17 AM

 
 

Seriously!!?? I think it's not fair that boys get to do fun stuff while us girls have to stay home and do something boring. In the fourteenth amendment of the constitution it states that it gives equal rights.....so why aren't they doing that? I'm so confused about changing laws and stuff??? Just follow what the constitution says...wasn't that what it was made for???

I think that if there was a lawsuit, the school district would lose. It may not seem like a big deal, but that's unequal distribution of taxpayer money (paying for the boys to go to the movies, not paying for the girls) and it's sexist and unfair besides.

by Ari on 2/26/2012 9:29:35 AM

 
 

That's wrong. Just because we're girls doesn't mean we wouldn't enjoy the movie. I went to see The Hulk 3 because my little brother and cousin went with my mom. I liked it. I liked Pokemon when I was little, Pokemon was thought to be a boys TV show and toys and cards. Garbage Pail Kids? One of the best invention ever. Nail Polish Another best invention ever. I can be girly(which I'm not really.) And still enjoy that movie. Sure, I loved Bratz and Barbies-but I like Pokemon ans stuff like that.

by caitwon on 2/26/2012 6:42:57 AM

 
 

Don't get me wrong, I love Akeelah and the Bee but I saw Red Tails and it was a REALLY good movie. And the sad part is, I'm a girly-girl in pageants! I'm sure if this school district enrolled me (i know which district it is, im only one over) and I said this out loud, they'd surely arrest me. Thats soo unfair! It's a movie!
Wait a minute, why couldn't they see a UNISEX movie then? Like Mysterious Island? Or the new Arietty movie? I mean DANG thats stupid... And it's funny because I read the last sentence and its true! The movie is about racism, they can't fight in WW2 but girls can't see a movie ABOUT keeping certain people from doing things? Really people? Is this what the world has come to?

Mod mod mod! My friend told my ex bf and ex friend that I wanna be friends again, but that's not true at all I just want to forget him. What do I do?




Hey girl,

Stay true to yourself and what you want! If you really want to move on, try to give yourself space - don't start conversations with them, don't get involved with them. If they talk to you because they heard about this, just try to be friendly and pleasant while also telling them the truth: tell them your friend was trying to help but you're actually really happy right now, so you just want to focus on things and don't want to cause any drama by stirring things up. Apologize and try to move on. It's not easy to distance yourself from people, but try to be friendly first and foremost - you don't want to hurt anyone in this process, even if you have a not-so-good history with them.

by ladyinlike on 2/25/2012 9:35:38 PM

 
 

That's stupid! I saw that movie recently and I thought it was pretty cool! The school district should've let the girls catch the next showing of the movie or something! I hate when people underestimate girls just because we don't like showing off our muscles. Like the boys so immaturely do!

by vgoodall on 2/25/2012 7:43:17 PM

 
 

i think its okay, i mean that in fifth grade i would'nt have wanted to watch Red Tails. however if any girl wanted to watch Red Tails instead of Akeelah, thats her responsibility to ask to go.

by melon11 on 2/25/2012 1:28:12 PM

 
 

This is SEXIST.
I saw Red Tails and it is fine for both genders.
It's ridiculous.You should have just split them up evenly. That was NOT necessary.

by Dee_Has_Cookiez on 2/25/2012 12:51:54 PM

 
 

Sexist thoughts and actions have been around before even your history book starts. Something with that much history, not surprisingly, will change anytime soon. Just because somthing is illegal doesn't mean people don't do it, but just because people do it doesn't mean it's right. What they did was considered as gender discrimination, and discrimination is illegal. I dissagree that all of the administrators believed in this decision, so, there is most likely only one reason why the school successfully achieved the prejudicial decision: Because there is one "Head-Honcho" that nobody wants to stand against, and the "Head-Honcho" doesn't believe in gender equality. So instead of sulking about not being able to watch a movie with the guys, I say find this guy and get him some serious help. The movie will still be there tomorrow, but the Dallas students' ability to call themselves independent won't

by kgirls2001 on 2/25/2012 1:52:12 AM

 
 

This is unfair. They should have asked each girl if she wanted to see it. If yes, they could go, if no, they could stay and watch "Akeelah". And about the lack of theater space, they could have found a bigger theater.

It's just so hard to believe nthat in sooo many school they talk about their not allowing rascism, and agism, or even sexism, and all the other isms. Now they are seriously becoming hypocrites. Someone has to do something about this. And Pronto, ASAP! If I was the girls I would have gone on into the movie myself with all my good friends we would've brought in some money so that we could get ourselves snacks. The boys tootally would have been jealous. Then after the movie was over I would talked to my parents about how unfair my school was being too the girls and they WOULD'VE ARGUED with whoever allowed this mishap to happen. After that they would and shouyld correct it. And most of all make a public apology to all the girls who were not allowed to see Red Tails. Then the next BIG movie that came out they'd promise to bring them to, including snacks and transportation. It would also be FREE.

I am a big fan of WW2 history and would love to watch a movie like that! I think it's really unfair that all the girls had to stay home and watch a maovie and couldn't chose what movie they wanted to watch. Stuff like that annoys me. 

by sissis1430 on 2/23/2012 6:07:52 PM

 
 

Who said that Akeela was bad? The only problem is that the girls weren't given the choice. If I was a student there, I would be upset, even if if wanted to watch Akeelah, because they didn't give me the right to choose.

by radkid985 on 2/23/2012 5:51:52 PM

 
 

who cares? i loveee akeelah and the bee. its not sexist. why on earth do people find this article interesting? and its sooooooooo not sexist especially since akeelah and the bee is about a VERY smart girl. so girls can cry about how something as pointless as this is "sexist" but how many would actually want to be a fighter pilot?

It really doesn't seem like such a big deal, but that IS a bit of an annoyance. I, for one, am a HUGE fan of action movies, and truthfully, didn't enjoy Akeelah and the Bee, one bit.

by teiaramogami on 2/23/2012 2:05:52 PM

 
 

I really don't see why everyone is making a huge deal out of this.. So what? What if some of the boys wanted to see Akeelah and the Bee? Does it really matter if they just assumed that most of the 5th grade girls would rather NOT watch a movie about war??

by lizziefizzie on 2/23/2012 12:57:43 PM

Thats messed up so since im a girl i couldnt watch a movie that the guys were watching on a school feild trip thats so not fair

by amatt2016 on 2/22/2012 1:50:23 PM

 
 

That is completely screwed up! I would've loved to see Red Tails. In fact I would've wanted to see it more than Akeelah and the Bee. I'm sure tons of girls would've wanted to go. Here's an idea: ask all the girls if they'd like to see it. If they say yes, they go, and if necessary make there be more than one trip. If they say no, they watch the other movie. Simple as that.

by HogwartsStudent on 2/22/2012 1:18:47 PM

 
 

i probably would've watched Red Tails, what about the girls that like that stuff???

by Kstar101 on 2/22/2012 12:48:23 PM

 
 

On one hand, I'm not sure that I would really enjoy Red Tails, but the fact that I wouldn't have been given the fair opportunity to see it is just plain wrong. If it's a school trip, then there must be some educational value, and I think that all students would benefit from that. This post certainly does a good job of pointing out how only letting the boys go see it defies the moral of the film... "These brave men were not allowed to fight alongside white men, yet they served despite the glaring inequality. Hmm…" This is just plain wrong. Some girls may have enjoyed this movie. In today's world, the US brags equality for all people, regardless of gender, race, religion, etc. I think that this school district needs to take a minute to really think about its actions.

by cutiecupcakegirl17 on 2/22/2012 12:11:41 PM

 
 

And what's wrong with that? That isn't sexist at all, that's just fair. Most girls probably wouldn't understand Red Tails anyway.

by chick987 on 2/22/2012 9:38:53 AM

 
 

That is really unfair. If there wasn't enough room, why didn't they schedule two trips or something?

by ceahorse on 2/22/2012 8:02:56 AM

 
 

Sexist! Don't get me wrong, Akeelah and the Bee is a great movie, but they were making biased assumptions. The boys would enjoy it more... Not necessarily. Plus, the girls get to watch a fictional movie about spelling while the boys enjoy a historical film? Sounds like restricting education for girls to me. NOT okay.

I do know AKHEELA andthe Bee is not a chicflic I'm just trying to get my point across.

I hate when people are this sexist!!! It really gets me mad. It's like the first week of soccer when all the guys were like ugh about me now I toatally have their respect!!! It's the 21st century for cryin out loud! I'd be so mad! Let's just say it's a good thing I don't go to that school. The movie is about segregation and yet your segregating who goes to see it? Grow up! Girls like guy stuff to I speak for myself and my friends when I say that cuz were totally sick of guys thinking were not as good as them at sports! I like am disgusted with the behavior of that school board. I'd definitely rather see that than a stupid sobstory-chicflic!

Um...WOW. That is not fair on any level, They could have obviously taken them to see a different movie, or even the same one on a different day!! I totally want to see Red Tails! I just don't get it! As a matter of fact, I bet more than half of those students didn't even earn the right to go on that "field trip"! They could have taken the people that didn't have any F's and no office referels or something. I can't believe some people, this is why I want to be the first woman president, to show the sexist people out there that us girls are twice as strong, smart, and capable as the guys.

by LudaKrys on 2/21/2012 8:57:39 PM

 
 

Well it is true that more girls would probably like the movie about figher pilots than girls would. But they should have given them a choice! Whoever wanted to go see the fighter pilot movie could, and then whoever wanted to watch Akeelah and The Bee could. Simple.

by biffo on 2/21/2012 8:52:20 PM

 
 

wow. Just show the two movies IN SCHOOL in two different classrooms and let the kids decide which ones they want to see. (of course with parent permission Smile )

by Kylie :D on 2/21/2012 8:47:41 PM

 
 

Why didn't they just take the girls at a later time so that they could all watch the movie. They can't just have on gender see it and not the other, we might want to see the movie too,I know I do! It seems interesting.I'm so upset about this! Frown

by minielephant101 on 2/21/2012 8:40:30 PM

 
 

That's ridiculous. There are actually two issues:
(1) Gender-influenced movie choices
There are many girls who would enjoy Red Tails,
and what if there were boys who wanted to see Akeelah and the Bee?
(2) Setting
So the guys get to go out and the girls have to stay in the house? What, did we make their popcorn, too?

Sexists.

by SkyGirl7 on 2/21/2012 8:36:38 PM

 
 

not fair we like the same movies as boys. Girls ok most girls don't even like chick flicks e may like action packed movies. Doing it once can slide with us but doing it more than once can't. It's sexiest and us girls know it.

Why couldn't they take the guys one day and the girls the next If the theatre was so small? I guess when our founding fathers said "all men are created equal" there must have been a loupole for it.

"not enough room in the theaters" then different schools should go on different days!

I am a girl and I am in Marine Corps Officer training at my high school. We took a field trip to see Red Trails when it came out and they didn't discriminate against us. they let every boy and girl in the officer training program go.

That is so horrible that some places still discriminate against sex. It's ironic cause the movie is about discriminating and schools are doing it today just in a different way.

how did the guys get to see this movie anyway? if theyre in fifth grade and its rated pg 13 it shouldnt be allowed. in fact im in 9th grade and 15 and its not allowed even if it is educational like Red Tails is. second off the guys got to see a new movie and the girls got to see a movie that came out years ago. if there is no room why cant they see another movie in the movie theater and let them choose?

thats horrible girls have just the same right to watch that movie it looks amazing and it will teach us some more how about they let the girls and boys see it together errg

Wow, thats exactly how they do it at my school during P.E! Boys have to do this many pushups and girls only have to do this much!!!!

This is exactly like the court case US V. Virginia where Virginia set up an only boys military facility and when the US sues, the set up and all girls one but the supreme court ruled it unconstitutional bc it was not equal in prestige. Who cares if it's just a movie? Girls deserve to have equal opportunities.

The feminists really need to choose their battles with a lot more precision... how many of the girls really wanted to go watch a movie about pilots? I know i certainly didn't in the 5th grade. What everybody should be a lot more concerned about is 5th graders seeing a PG-13 movie.

I think that seems really sexist. I love action movies!!! Just because we're girls doesn't automatically mean that we are all into chick flicks or something. Like I said, I love some kick-butt movies, and that school should have thought more about the choice they made, if i were one of those girls, i would be writing a letter to the administrator and having a talk with the teacher who made that decision...

Thats really dumb they pick a movie that says you shouldn't segregate and yet thats what their doing! Girls should be able to do anything a guy can do!

Wow, at my school, they separate girls and guys to. Boys sit on one side of the gym in the morning, waiting for classes, and girls on the other. SO ANNOYING!!!! And I'm like, really for girls, so this really ticks me off. I would have been going on and on about it if they would make me do that. >Frown

Sexist...

I can see how the reasoning may be understandble to some, it may also been that some of the girls may not have been to intrested in seeing Red Tails but I have seen the movie, I`m a girl and I thought it was great! If anything people should have been picked to go on a first comes first serves base. Just my opinion...

by syddiez on 2/21/2012 5:31:48 PM

 
 

wow...probs the most sexist thing ive heard of in awhile

by k8luvscake on 2/21/2012 5:18:34 PM

 
 

thats ridiculous!!! i agree with fungirl123, i could write like a 10 page paper about how stupid that is (probably with some bad language!) that is so sexist! not cool!

by gymcat on 2/21/2012 5:17:27 PM

 
 

That is so idiotic!!!

by 1corinthiansgurl on 2/21/2012 5:16:19 PM

 
 

That's really stupid! Our school actually took us to see this movie and all of the high school along with 7th and 8th grade went, boys AND girls. Most of the girls loved the movie, including me. If I wouldn't have been able to go because I'm a girl, I would have been mad.

by catlover11 on 2/21/2012 5:13:46 PM

 
 

Soo not fairFrown why can't girls do things that guys do too?? Stupid.

by Sheyenne on 2/21/2012 5:13:34 PM

 
 

Wow. I would deffinatly rather watch "Red Tails." That's terrible!

by tardisgirl869 on 2/21/2012 5:12:07 PM

 
 


Y couldnt the girls just see it at a diff time that way ppl wouldnt be makin out during it and every1 could see it.

by ibrown1 on 2/21/2012 5:10:20 PM

 
 

thats really dumb! if they wouldve picked a comedy that both boys and girls would enjoy everything would be fine!

by fearless;) on 2/21/2012 5:07:23 PM

 
 

Wow. I can't believe they could be so sexist! I agree with you fungirl23! They could have at least asked the girls if they wanted to go or not. Totally unfair.

by mssmith123 on 2/21/2012 5:06:08 PM

 
 

That's so sexist. Talk about irony, especially with the movie that they were seeing. They should have sent out a permission slip to all of the students, and the first 5,700 (the number of students allowed to go) to submit their form wouuld go.

by uni301 on 2/21/2012 5:05:55 PM

 
 

Wow that's unfair. I love the movie "Akeelah and the Bee" but I would also be interested in the other movie to.

by music191 on 2/21/2012 5:03:34 PM

 
 

that is just dumb.

by fabgirL10 on 2/21/2012 5:02:27 PM

 
 

What- how stupid! Ive been wanting to see that movie! I love action movies, I'm not into that many chick flicks. though. My grade is going to see The Hunger Games and there's killing and gore and things that sterotypically only boys would like! But you know how many girls are excited: ALL OF US! Psh, I would have been absent that day and go to see it by myself!

by sinkinginblack on 2/21/2012 5:02:15 PM

 
 

Thats sexist. They shouldnt do that

by Milkdog64 on 2/21/2012 5:01:32 PM

 
 

WOW. That's terrible, and stupid! I say girls can do anything guys can do, and better! (haha)

by dance/musicluver316 on 2/21/2012 4:51:35 PM

 
 

OK, maybe some girls wouldn't be interested in this, but that doesn't mean ALL! I'm a fan of Akeelah and The Bee too, but that is still NOT fair.

by ChicGeek on 2/21/2012 4:48:18 PM

 
 

That's really stupid. They definitely shouldn't let guys do certain things and not girls.

by supersingershannon on 2/21/2012 4:40:34 PM

 
 

How idiotic. I could sit here rambling on with a paragraph filled with swearing...but I won't.

by fungirl123 on 2/21/2012 4:38:32 PM

 
 

Wowzers. Stupid.

by AlwaysDreamer on 2/21/2012 4:32:24 PM

 
 

Umm... Hello! Girls are just as strong/independant/ (fill in the blank) as guys. How sexist!
