Re: Does Affirmative Action fit under the values of FIRST

You should never make any decision in life based on a superficial demographic, and especially not when dealing with High School Students. If someone gets cut for a reason that they cannot control, then it usually results in a nasty situation.

A long time ago, someone I know was cut from a drive team because 'The Drive Team needed a female member' - even though, he was a much more qualified human player than she was. He and his friends weren't very happy for the rest of the season and that negative attitude infected the rest of the team.
