Accurate or not, the statistics, the data or the content is not important for what I would intent to use it for.
It is the topics or the direction of the subject matter that are my concern.

These topics are not new and they are a normal item of discussion amongst the FIRST mentors and volunteer in my area for years.
Someone just put them together in a media presentation.
We would definitely not quote from it.

As a graduate of engineering, it is sad to see the diminishing numbers students in the engineering and sciences. Many of the FIRST volunteers I know have the same view and we all want to help change the tide and make a difference.

So why not talk about it? It is the heart of FIRST.
