To whoever downvoted this, their name right now is Hacker School (commonly politically correct, male "Apprenticeship" terminology avoidance) and the symbol is of a computer (commonly politically correct, neutral/male symbolism).

"NY Hacker Apprenticeship w/ a young female hacker as the mascot" would essentially flip it around, where the Apprenticeship term is used (its an old world male symbol, lets get over the passive aggressiveness) and a modern symbol of equality is used (a female hacker, yes there is political tension over this as we all know, lets get over the passive-aggressiveness)

Yes it was light-hearted because that is essentially two politically provoking things from the wrong vantage point; but sometimes two things which are politically diverging can cancel each other out with the right dose of comedy, fun, and respect.

One could take it plenty of other directions, but I thought it would be cool. Maybe "Hacker School" wants to avoid the political scene altogether out of self preservation, maybe they'll downvote me and take my ideas anyways, or maybe they'll just downvote me and dislike me, who knows?

I have nothing against any person or group, and I respect everyone equally. Cheers.
