San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer has directed the reinstatement of the city’s Girls’ Empowerment Camp, an event that had been canceled last week after an attorney questioned whether its gender-focused approach violated state and federal anti-discrimination statutes. The event will be expanded to two weekends — one in April and one in May -- and registration will be reopened. “We made a commitment to hundreds of kids and their families and we are going to stand by that,” Faulconer said in a statement. “This is an important camp that teaches kids what it’s like to be a firefighter and exposes many of them to a career opportunity they may not have considered previously.” The change of direction came a week after the city fire department and the nonprofit San Diego Fire-Rescue Foundation pulled the plug on the event. Organizers said City Attorney Mara Elliott’s office had recommended they cancel it.
