People get outraged over everything."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

I've been saying for quite some time that I wish some black leaders would stand up and be examples to young black people, encouraging them to excel, rather than using race as an excuse for failure.
Unless there's some hidden component here, it looks to me like that's what's happening in this situation."Neighbor, how long has it been since youve had a big, thick, steaming bowl of Wolf Brand Chili?

Are programs that try to put girls (and only girls) in touch with women in engineering and such a problem?"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

For people who disapprove of this trip, I have two alternatives and would like to hear your thoughts.
What if they took everyone on these trips and then split them up based on their interest, like "the black college experience", "engineering for women", "pre-med", etc. in the same way students choose electives?
or
What if this trip was only for black students and later they have a trip for all students with a schedule of meetings and tours applicable to the general student population? In this case the black students would get a trip that caters to their needs but the other students don't miss out on tours exploring the college option.
