Bob thought this problem was over after he had been one of the dancers in the dancing group. But a bigger problem was just beginning. The school didn’t let Bob stay in the girls’ group. “If we let Bob stay in the group,” the school said, “other boys will want to join. Soon, there won’t be any girls in the group.” They took Bob off the group.
Bob was very angry about it, so he went to a judge. The judge said it was not a right decision and told the school to let Bob go back to the dancing group.
