I don't think even you'd support your own daughters having been forced to take home ec. and missing out on the shop classes, would you? Gender discrimination here is ridiculous.
I am OK with, e.g., GPA requirements for certain classes though, just as there's usually some (really low!) GPA requirements for sports.
Of course, very few of the classes you mention above are even available anymore. Liability killed many of them, and the "everyone must go to college and become a 'professional' and not work at something as 'menial' as welding" mentality of the '80s onward killed most of the rest.
You should scan in and post your old drawings if you have'em!
