They could've meant to teach the boys to knit, but if the program is called "Robots - BOYS ONLY," it's problematic and, frankly, pretty idiotic.

If you look at it from our side it does seem problematic but if you look at it from the library's side it makes sense. After all, they are trying to promote reading to boys because they feel like that is a problem that they should try to fix, they didn't want girls to take part in it because it seems that for the most part girls were more likely to go into the library than boys. Also the fact that they only had 15 seats available.
