I understand both sides of this argument, but I have to agree with most of the posts on here. It really shouldn't be that big of a deal to use a restroom labeled "boys" or "girls" instead of "men" or "women". Most students in high school are still considered boys or girls since they have not turned 18, and have not yet become an adult. I understand that they could be frustrated, but honestly what difference is it making? A bathroom is a bathroom. I also feel that this wasn't really a story but a way for the students to complain about it.

It's horrible to read how such little care is given to people with a mental disease or illness. There is abuse, neglect, sexual harassment, and worse. It's just so frustrating almost to see how people aren't being treated as if they human and can't get basic rights or necessities. I feel that this shows a lot about humanity and how we perceive people with mental illness to be below the general public and not as worthy. Mental Asylums should develop into a place where people with mental illnesses can be treated properly and can get help with their illness to improve their well-being, instead of a cage you are trapped in where you are forced to witness and experience horrendous things everyday.

What do you think about the experiment Dr.Nass conducted? What do you think of his results?

This is really astonishing to see how many kids under the age of two are now playing with phones and tablets on a day-to-day basis. When I was younger, I never played with technology or watched an excessive amount of TV. This is why I find it so odd that this behavior is starting at such a young age. What happened to coloring or playing with dolls when you were bored? Kids are so dependent on technology right now, it will be hard for them to figure things out and occupy themselves without it as they get older. I understand if you are using the iPad with children for educational and learning purposes, but just to keep them busy? I think you can find a more creative way to do that.

I am caught in the middle of these two very different arguments for a number of reasons. First off, I do agree with Greenwald's thinking of how even with the simplest of choices, our bias unconsciously influences us. Every phrase we write, every question, every little thing can appear to have a biased opinion. Yet I also don't agree with him because I do not think we should just give up on trying to mask our bias, and come right out and say it. I believe it is a news writer's job to try to take out their personal opinion and give us the raw facts. It is then up to the reader to decide what he or she thinks about the topic. If everyone just came out and said their honest opinion, our world would be over run with opinions but without any facts to base them on. It's not news if you aren't stating news; it's then just your opinion instead.
