Re: Ethnic and Gender diversity in FIRST

In this case, there really isn't that much you can do. A school district probably isn't going to bend on an issue like that.

Also, I can't entirely tell from what you said, but only 4 students were given the spots "unfairly". It's probably just better to hold your tongue and let it be; If his supervisor is making this decision, it's not worth risking support for the team over 4 kids.

Just worry about the other 26, and try to keep your teams politics off of CD (I'm sure all teams have it anyway), it really doesn't help, and mainly has potential to make your own team look bad.

EDIT: argh... I'm tired, I got sidetracked in my post and left this out from after the first paragraph (thx for reminding me Dave);

The only idea I have would be to get any student who was denied access complain. Even then, I doubt the school will budge. Both high schools I attended made similar rulings on unrelated (as in, NOT our robotics team) clubs.
