Do you think this gender division was SEXIST?

Pickens Elementary is under fire for this event as 3rd to 5th grade students were divided by gender with boys participating in business like careers while girls were saddled with cheerleading speakers It said "At the IGNITE boys summit, the boys, who were seen wearing ties and collard shirts were largely pictured sitting at their desks while being addressed and interacting with men who were also wearing business like attire" The girls meanwhile went to SHINE girls retreat and were pictured wearing red t-shirts and sitting in a school gym listening to local HIGH SCHOOL cheerleaders speak and writing signs The FB post said "Male role models from the community spoke with the boys about leadership and the importance of character. The Pickens Varsity cheer team spoke with the girls about how to work together to help everyone shine"... Backlash erupted on social media with critics complaining about the differing experiences for boys and girls and accused the school of sexism The school then edited the caption with "Role models from the community and student athletes from Pickens High spoke with students about leadership and character" But that didn't satisfy critics as one said "Replacing a sexist caption with a more gender-neutral one, unfortunately, will not magically erase the underlying conceptual fallacy and bias behind this event. You can edit the text as much as you want, but as long as you keep the photos, people are going to still know that you are operating in a sexist vaccum from yesteryear" The district apologized and said the gender divided events were meant to "empower" students as they want to send a message of inclusion and equality as they claim it was not their intent to send this kind of message Do you think this event was SEXIST? https://i.imgur.com/33gs9I8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/pAHuGE8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Vr2Kn5k.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UbsUWE7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GBBH578.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1S6tMzw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3Jq7I0X.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9FAnXFF.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jub4ZPI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UvGnI03.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nAnnwtH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Q9U0j8g.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gvX617g.jpg --- 2019 will be the end of random news..https://linkto.run/p/QV29F5V0 call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.
