In what ways are differences between the males and females culturally, rather than biologically, determined? How might the differences be reinforced or changed in classrooms? How might you, as a Christian teacher, avoid discrimination of students and/or parents of students whose beliefs about gender are different than your own?

What can public school teachers do to respect all students’ beliefs and still maintain their own Christian integrity?
