Pupils in Glasgow have demanded safe spaces, an end to gender stereotypes and respect for the preferred pronouns of trans and non-binary classmates.
In their first ever student manifesto, children studying at secondary schools in Scotland’s biggest city have set out what they see as a vision of tolerance and inclusivity.
The document, which won support from Glaswegian teenagers at a conference last week, strikes both an idealistic and practical tone.
But it comes as school communities continue to deal with difficult issues such as culture wars, sexual harassment and finding a space for faith.
Education officials acknowledge that the demands from pupils may make some adults uncomfortable.
