QotW [5-04-03]: Discrimination
While FIRST's mission is to inspire all students, we often see that a special emphasis is placed upon recruiting, involving, and inspiring women and minorities. Often, this is because these groups have experienced discrimination; either currently, or in their history.
Question 5-04-03: Have you ever witnessed or experienced discrimination through your involvement with FIRST? How did you respond? How should we, as a community, respond?
Where this exists, I'd like to see it vanish. Where it doesn't exist, I want to learn what people are doing (or not doing), to keep things that way. This can be a positive experience for everyone.
Today's Question of the Week was inspired by the actions of two individuals during the 2003 season. I am refraining from posting their names, which is something of a radical departure for me. I expect for that to set the tone of this thread. I want this to be a learning experience, not an exercise in libel.
Thanks.
