> In our current school there are 3 STEM programs for girls, one that is for both boys and girls.

Is this a public school? What does "for girls" mean? Like, can you enroll a boy?



I actually considered just enrolling him to see what would happen, but I didn't want my child to become a lightning rod for a political battle between adults.

The description of the program specifically says, "for girls" and it has a cartoon graphic with a few different female characters of different skin colors, each dressed as some profession. It doesn't say, "no boys" or anything like that, but as I said above I'm hesitant to try with my son. If it were me I would do it.
