Some Grown-Ups Could Take a Cue from These Young Men Challenging ‘Locker Room Talk’
In a world where some adults still cling to outdated notions, a group of high school students is taking a stand that could teach them a thing or two about respect and accountability. Amid the controversy surrounding Donald Trump’s so-called “locker room banter,” these six male students from Lincoln High in Gresham, Oregon, decided enough was enough.
In a viral post stirring up quite the conversation, these young men donned t-shirts boldly declaring “Wild Feminist” while posing in their locker room. Their message? “Sexual assault is not locker room talk.” With over 9,100 likes and nearly 9,000 shares, their stand is a powerful reminder that even teenagers can discern between what’s acceptable and what’s not—kudos to them for advocating for their female classmates and women everywhere.
As allegations of sexual harassment against Trump flood in, the voices of these students resonate louder than ever. Their sentiment echoes the impactful words delivered by Michelle Obama in her recent speech. As the election heats up, it’s imperative that messages like theirs shine through the noise of bigotry and misogyny that Trump represents. The mayor of Gresham even tweeted the image, clearly supporting the boys’ stance.
It’s a sad day when we look to high schoolers for moral guidance—but here we are. One would expect a man vying for the presidency of the world’s most powerful nation to set a better example, but alas, 2016 has proven otherwise. Trump’s nostalgia for the “good old days” seems to ignore the advancements in civil rights and human dignity.
As we head into a crucial election, it’s refreshing to see the younger generation prioritizing respect and equality. Even if this clown finds a way into the Oval Office, these students give us hope for a brighter future. In just four years, they’ll have the opportunity to cast their votes too.
