The CASE
of ... Girls Don't

Jessalyn Palmer's father Dave was baffled. Jessalyn, nearly 5, had
been denied admission to the Ropes & Branches course at a Na-
tive American camp she wanted to attend, and had been assigned

can heritage was guiding their decision.
Caught between culture and his daughter's disappointment,
instead to Beads and Baskets.
Dave didn't know what to do.
Jessalyn didn't want to make necklaces and baskets; she
wanted to tie knots and make rope ladders and fashion slings and
fly from branch to branch with the boys in Ropes & Branches. She
had always been an active child, heedless of her body and happy
to laugh off any hurts or bruises she earned as a result.
Dave Palmer begged the couple who ran the camp to allow
Jessalyn to switch courses, but they were adamant. It would be
too dangerous for her. It demanded too much brute strength and
agility. Girls were better at finger skills like weaving and beading.
Jessalyn would hurt herself on the ropes. They couldn't risk that.
Dave was certain they were exaggerating the risk. The camp
was well staffed and had a perfect safety record. He protested that

2. Could the camp owners be right about assigning Jessalyn to
Beads & Baskets based on girls' superior fine motor skills? Are
they justified in denying her admission to the more physical
course that boys usually take?
3. What more would you need to know to decide fairly if Jessalyn
would be as safe as the boys in the camp in Ropes & Branches?
What policy change, if any, would you urge the owners to introduce?

4. If Jessalyn asks why she can't do Ropes & Branches, how should
Dave answer? Should he tell her the truth behind the owners'
decision or hide it?
