[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP No, Girls Who Code does NOT allow boys to join.  That's the point.

The judge's ruling was that as long as JR allows clubs that limit their membership to specific groups of students, it can't bar Athletes for Christ.

The previous poster said that the groups cited in the judge's opinion weren't analogous to AFC because they allowed anyone who agreed with the "mission" to join. Boys can agree that there should be more females in tech, but that doesn't mean they can join Girls Who Code.[/quote]

For me the issue isn't about who can join.[b] The fundamental mission of FCA is the promotion of values that are discriminatory (that LGBTQ+ behavior is wrong and they shouldn't have equal rights)[/b]. Even if LGBTQ+ students can join, the group's mission itself violates DC human rights policies.

Then there is the issue that the group has teacher advisors who promote evangelical Christianity. It's okay (obviously) for teachers to have whatever faith they want, but it becomes problematic when teachers promote their religion at a public school. [/quote]

Oh please. No, this is not the fundamental mission of FCA. Did you even bother to do any research at all about the organization?[/quote]
