Interesting! So they've created broader categories, then.
My son is the first to admit that he and his friends may be atypical, in that they fit into more than one category. Plus, a number of them are Scouts who have been taught to be kind and friendly since they were quite young! I can see the results, and it makes me happy.
But I genuinely do see more acceptance in his school, and kids from different groups cheering each other on. For example, the kids who were there to see the football team play were also cheering for the band and singing along, in a non-ironic way, when they played some of their favorites. It was good to see!
