[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your ES or MS have the program?
Who runs it?
How can it get set up at the ES before school starts/beginning of school year?[/quote]

Girls on the run was established for girls. Why do boys need it when they have so many other opportunities?[/quote]

I searched for two years for an opportunity similar to that for my boys in our location.[b] There is nothing which is a shame.[/b] Had to wait until 7th grade so that my kid can start cross country (finally got there). Maybe it exists elsewhere in the county but not where we are and not when we were in DC either.[/quote]

The shame is that for years girls were unable to play any sports.  NONE.  Women and girls sports are still seen as lesser.   You son can literally do any sport.  Even running although it might not be organized.[/quote]

The sport my son wants to do is running. He wants to do organized running and he could do with some confidence building too. It’sa shame that girls in the run isn’t open to him or that there is nothing similar.  That’s not a controversial fact. [b]And as a woman I take issue with your claim that things are so tough for girls. [/quote][/b]

Oh so we are going to go there, Jan?  Are you saying your "poor" son has it harder than girls?  Please back up your statement with actual FACTS.  Girls and women in the past were treated like second class citizens.    Married women were discouraged to work.  When they went to college ( when they were allowed) people joked about them getting their MRS degree.  Women and young girls are raped and murdered by men.

The right to choose is being taken away from our daughters, even when their lives are at risk.  A bunch of cells is seen more important.  Medical professionals routinely ignore women's pain and tell them it is all in their heads.  All the majority of studies ( medical and otherwise) have been tested only on white men.

How many women CEO's do we have?
How many female professional coaches do we have?
How many female professional referees do we have?
Why when women are doctors, lawyers etc they are referred to by their first name but men their last name?

So no I do not feel sorry for YOUR SON just because he can't run they way he wants!
