[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally agree about schools being biased against boys, but when it comes to youth sports, boys definitely have the advantage and it's pretty petty to be pissed about Girls on the Run.[/quote]

No, you. If you had a boy who needed confidence building and found such a program exists but your child was purposely excluded because he's a male, you'd be pretty disappointed too. Imagine "straights on the run" or "Caucasians on the run" being an acceptable program. 
It's exclusion based on a protected class: sex. They shouldn't allow that. Especially when schools push it/host it/advertise it.[/quote]

DP. There is a confidence building running program for boys as has been pointed out. If you think it's important and needed, but your school doesn't have it, you should step up and lead it. If your only interest is in tearing down things for girls, then feel free to keep whining about it on the internet.[/quote]

That’s not the point.  The point is that the school is actively offering and promoting a program for girls without offering an opportunity for boys.  That would not be allowed in any other context.  The PP is correct.  [/quote]

Youth sports orgs like BCC Baseball use public facilities to offer programs that overwhelmingly serve boys. They have priority for using fields because they have been around longest.[/quote]

What?  That is not true at all.  I have a son who plays baseball for BCC and a daughter who plays softball for BCC.  There are plenty of organizations that serve girls’ athletic teams.  Field hockey is a sport that overwhelmingly attracts females.

Your post makes no sense.  [/quote]
