Re: [OCCRA]: on the diversity tournament
Actually this subject goes farther than that, we didn't have very many girls that were major members so our girls were not all too happy to be forced to do everything. One in piticular found it very sexist, as they felt insulted that people thought that they weren't good enough to be a major player on their own so OCCRA will force everyone to only use the girls. It really doesn't help with diversity, it simply demonstraits how some people thinks girls can't do it on there own and highlights a sometimes lack of diversity for everyone to see. I think it would be much better if you droped the diversity rounds all together guys and girls keeping adults though those are different. I think many girls besides her see it as a jab that they are incapable of being involved on there own. If you really want to help girls get involved get them excited about robotics make them actually want to do this on there own.
