SPA Policy Blog Paragraph

One policy that I wish could change is that girls should have guy CASA's. Currently, this policy states that girls  can not have males as their CASA's. One reason it should be changed is that guys get female CASA's while girls can't have male CASA's, which is sexist. Another reason is that a lot of girls need to trust a male so that way they know the male wont hurt them. In order for girls to trust males they need a male CASA to be a positive role model and lead by example. If this policy was changed, I would have a male CASA, but my CASA is already awesome so I wouldn't get rid of her.
