Institutionalized Discrimination

Identify one area where sexism or heterosexism is evident in one of the key social institutions you have studied. You will find a
current event article from a local, national or international news source that details an institutional act of sexism or heterosexism. Briefly summarize the
article that you have selected. Provide the specifics of the act and which social institution is engaged in the act.
Provide a theoretical explanation for why the act occurred. This must be a structural explanation that focuses on the institution. Use the theory that best fits
your understanding of the act.
Discuss how this act was managed. For example, if it was illegal, what were the legal sanctions against the institution? If not illegal, what was the public
response?
Finally, suggest policy changes that might prevent future occurrences of this act.
