Collin Carlson is a 13 year old boy who is a sophomore at the University of Connecticut. *Snaps for Collin* He is seeking a degree in ecology and evolutionary biology. His class course is taking the student to South Africa for a summer field work. University of Connecticut AKA UConn, rejected his request to go. His mother, Jessica Offir, offered to sign release forms and liability forms and even chaperon him on her own expenses. But UConn still will not let him go. C. Carlson says "They're upsetting the framework of one of my majors."
I think UConn should totally let him go. He worked just as hard as everyone else. And if his mother says she would pay her way so that her son can go, then let them go! He is a super smart kid. And one day he will save the world. They should just let him go. He deserves it. I don't understand why UConn is making things so difficult for him and his mom.
And when asked about it, Micheal Kirk, a spokesperson for UConn would not comment.
Collin Carlson has filed a age discrimination claim with the university and U.S. Department of Education.
YOU GO COLLIN!!
I hope all goes well with this.
Anyway, that's all for today. More tomorrow,
*Remember! ewerstoblahg
