It is so important that we fund the research and training and impetus to the classrooms and to the schools to keep encouraging them to emphasize the importance of equity in education. Our girls are not being encouraged properly into the fields of math and high-tech and science, and they need this special way of dealing with this issue, especially in the elementary ages. They need programs that enhance role models. The whole thing of history, women's history month, is to find all of the people in the country, women, who have excelled in these programs, and to encourage our young people to follow that route.
