Re: Sign this petition to allow girls in robotics! (at Timmins Public library)!
Hopefully adding to this thread won't cause us to repeat what has already been said ( hint, hint).
Instead, I'm just letting the CD world know that WAMU 88.5 radio station's Kojo Nnamdi show today contained a segment about the bigger-picture subject surrounding the specific subject of this thread.
The site described the segment with this title and description:
Gender Politics In The ClassroomThe American Civil Liberties Union released a report arguing that the $20 million Empowering Males of Color Initiative at D.C. Public Schools unfairly excludes female students. Kojo looks at the DCPS initiative, and compares it to efforts in neighboring Montgomery County. The show's website is here: Kojo Show site
I'm pretty sure that the segment will be available for download/streaming/listening shortly through either the show's site or the WAMU site.
