I would have been P!ssed beyond measure if my daughter had been left out of a field trip to see a Rocket Scientist.

What kind of bigots are these people to deny those students this trip, solely on their race?

Martin Luther King is rolling in his grave.

I know someone that volunteers at an aftershool science program for minority students at a local college. If they stick with the program until college they get free tuition (if accepted by the school). Fourth grade: 30+ students. By sixth grade there were only 2. If kids aren’t motivated or have significant parental involvement they just won’t do the hard work. You can’t just shove them into a program and hope it sticks.

Rocket surgeons and brain scientists are a dime a dozen, I want my g/kids to go on a field trip to meet Walter Williams.
