We ask Younghoon International Middle School to stop limiting sports club options by gender and let all students choose the clubs they are interested in, including cheerleading, dance, yoga, soccer, and basketball.

Right now, boys are not allowed to select cheerleading, dance, or yoga, and girls are not allowed to select soccer or basketball. This is unfair and sends the message that some activities are only for one gender. In school, students should be able to learn, explore their interests, and build their skills without being boxed in by outdated rules.

These limits hurt both boys and girls. They ignore boys who want to learn dance, yoga, or cheerleading, and girls who want to play soccer or basketball. A school should support every student’s growth and give equal educational opportunities to all of us.

Some people may say this rule is about safety, but that does not explain why yoga, cheerleading, and dance are restricted. These are learning activities, not reasons to exclude students based on gender. A fair school policy should focus on student interest, participation, and respect, not sexism.

We believe this rule should be changed so that every student at Younghoon International Middle School can choose the sports club that fits their interests and talents. Equal education means equal access.
