[ATMoB-discuss] Re: ATMoB-Science Club for Girls star party

[Tinkler, James B (CSC) (US SSA)]

True, and that is the common sense part of scheduling before ATMoB even
agrees to assist with a star party.  You can be assured that Virgina and
any other coordinators are aware of those sorts of details before such
help is offered.  The thing is, the announcement did say that it was
open to everyone in the community...which is significantly more open
than most star parties!  So where was common sense in the initial
question?

-Bruce Tinkler

"The event will be open to all of the residents of Cambridge and its
neighboring communities as part of this year's Cambridge Science
Festival.  The Festival events are being promoted to all the children in
the Cambridge Public School system and to the greater community as a
whole through a variety of media.  We therefore expect a very diverse
group of children to attend the event, not just the girls who
participate in the after-school science club."

I AM a star party volunteer, which is why I brought up the question.  I
don't want to learn after the fact that I helped some discriminatory
group.

You can be almost certain that a group at a public school does not
discriminate (but there are exceptions).
