Camp Fire discussion

Latest comment: 4 years ago7 comments3 people in discussion

Hello evrik, I hoped to bring this discussion to your talk page versus the Camp Fire edit logs to discuss "co-ed". My standing is that the website does not say anything about "co-ed", while it does reference the article discussing its diversity in the section "Inclusion and Diversity" on the home page if you click the "outspoken" link. This is the closest you can get to saying that it is gender-inclusive if not on the President says it is, but the website directly references this article from its diversity section. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, BeeTheBestThatYouCanBEE (talk) 16:06, 28 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Let me quote the website, ""A Long History of Helping Youth Thrive". Camp Fire. Retrieved 2016-06-11. While Camp Fire was America's first multiracial, multicultural, and nonsectarian organization for girls, we became co-ed in 1975." I have no problem with "gender-inclusive," but co-ed is appropriate. --evrik ^(talk) 17:43, 30 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Co-ed implies (in fact, factually means) male and female. The newer source written by the president of the organization herself stated that it does not adhere to binary genders, so co-ed is not appropriate. BeeTheBestThatYouCanBEE (talk) 18:08, 13 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

The piece you reference is an op-ed piece. I am using the language from the organization itself. --evrik ^(talk) 12:45, 23 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

evrik and BeeTheBestThatYouCanBEE, If it helps, I found a reference in an official statement on their website saying that they aren't just co-ed anymore. To quote the website, Yes we became co-ed in the 70’s, but today we’re proudly gender-inclusive. CowsAreFlatulent (talk) 14:18, 23 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Co-ed and gender inclusive are not exclusive. --evrik ^(talk) 22:29, 23 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

They are. Co-ed means two genders, and the organization claims that it is gender inclusive and not exclusive to binary genders.There is no reason why you should keep reverting back to your edit. I have presented the argument here, and can back it up with much better sources than you can. BeeTheBestThatYouCanBEE (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:37, 27 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
