As an employer I'm thrilled to hear about these programs to encourage more women in STEM.

They seem completely unrelated to overall academic performance however, and your complaint sounds a little whiny. I'm as tired of woke nonsense as anyone, but these programs are a great idea.

What should I tell my son when he asks why he can't be in the "cool" group? What would you tell him? He is 10 currently.

If he wants to go into STEM, he should totally do it. I did, and I’ve been pretty much the opposite of cool since well before age 10

Being cool is a chump thing
