[quote=Anonymous]CC takes anyone who wants to sign up. My daughter asked to do it -- trust me, not something I think is a priority -- and she has a great time. So what the Hell, I sign her up. I am a native Washingtonian who remembers the bad old days of Mrs. Simpson's previous incarnation, Mrs. Schippens. They explicitly excluded kids who were Jewish, Black or Catholic (yep, Catholic). In the 1980s, I believe, they were sued and entered into a consent agreement. They will take a smattering of kids whom they previously excluded. But just a few. Judging who was asked in my daughter's class, I would bet they are in violation of their consent decree. Honestly, i don't see any conceivable reason to invite some kids at this age to join a social club while not inviting others. No justifiable reason at all. Even if they didn't have the history of segregation I would be offended by the whole thing. But CC is cool, if you like that sort of thing.[/quote]
