Re: Inclusion in FIRST

Lodging of out LGBTQ students. This has not come up yet for our team and I had not thought about it. I'm going to have to work up a plan for this. Any suggestions?

We have had inappropriate comments made along gender lines. Not many, but a few. In one case several years ago, it presented an educational opportunity for the offending student. It gave me the chance to introduce the concept of the HR department at one's employer and how you generally want to avoid having to visit with them at their request. I never had to talk to that student about that issue again. Other issues, yes, but not that one.

We also had our school sponsor remove a male student from the team because of continuing issues with several girls on the team. I don't know the specifics but I would like to think it might have been handled better.
