"A Nebraska school district has instructed its teachers to stop referring to students by “gendered expressions” such as “boys and girls,” and use “gender inclusive” ones such as “purple penguins” instead."


"Don’t use phrases such as ‘boys and girls,’ ‘you guys,’ ‘ladies and gentlemen,’ and similarly gendered expressions to get kids’ attention,” instructs a trainingdocument given to middle-school teachers at Lincoln Public Schools.

“Create classroom names and then ask all of the ‘purple penguins’ to meet on the rug,” it advises.

Liberals are easily the most moronic of all Political persuasions.

 

[AmericanFirst]

Yep, pretty stupid. Wonder who will be the first idiot defending this stupidity?

 

[Steven_R]

How do the people making these decisions feel about foreign languages in schools? If we're not supposed to use genders because of feelings and whatnot, do we still teach languages like German with their Masculine/Feminine/Neutered genders attached to every noun? Or Spanish that just has Masculine and Feminine cases?

 

[ScienceRocks]

Can someone please lock this idiot in a mental institution. These people shouldn't be anywhere near the children.

Sick bastards.

Eh...

I uh... huh. If this is true, that's nuts. Purple Penguins? Really? What else are these more radical liberals going to come up with next?

I do know there are some level-headed and reasonable liberals out there. If they could weigh in on this issue I think that would be valuable.

Just how much more can we take of the schools indoctrinating our children as Left Wingers?

We've got to take them back.

The document also warns against asking students to “line up as boys or girls,” and suggests asking them to line up by whether they prefer “skateboards or bikes/milk or juice/dogs or cats/summer or winter/talking or listening.”
“Always ask yourself . . . ‘Will this configuration create a gendered space?’” it advises.

Furthermore, it instructs teachers to interfere and interrupt if they ever hear a student talking about gender in terms of “boys and girls” so the student can learn that this is wrong.

This is in Nebraska.. Not California or New York where you would expect this kind of Liberalism Bullshit.

The infection is getting deep and needs to be cut out.

Though the website hosting the article is questionable, the story itself is popping up among various websites. I wouldn't be too quick to downplay the actuality of this issue.

 

[Skylar]

Gender can be complicated. I have a buddy I've known 15 years who recently had some pretty serious changes drop in his lap. He was being tested for late onset schizophrenia with very mild symptoms. Part of the testing was genetic....and he was informed that he had an extra chromosome. He was actually XXY. One of the effects of the extra chromosome is that his body treated testosterone as an infection and constantly attacked it. This caused tremendous inflamation in his body with the mean age for folks with this chromosomal anomaly without treatment was about 50. If however, he took medication to suppress his testosterone, he'd live to a ripe old age.

So he did. Being chromosomally intersex, he already had some subtle female traits. A voice that was just a little high. A face that was a little round. Fat in odd places for a guy. And with the medication, it became more pronounced. He grew small breasts. He no longer had to shave. And he started to get hips. He and I have dinner about once a week, and he's exploring gender issues right now. Its rather fascinating to hear about. And you realize how much of our gender identity is something that we're told rather than something we decide.

There's enough ambiguity in the gender and sexuality of enough people that it can't hurt to be mindful of it. Though I draw the line at made up intersex pronouns.

All American parents may do public school, private school, or home school.

There is no issue here.

If the complaint is that the millennial generation is calling its grandparents out, the grandparents better look in the collective mirror and not the schools.

How many people, even among liberals, support this nonsense? These kids are gonna grow up with their heads on backwards.

A Nebraska school district has instructed its teachers to stop referring to students by “gendered expressions” such as “boys and girls,” and use “gender inclusive” ones such as “purple penguins” instead.

“Always ask yourself . . . ‘Will this configuration create a gendered space?’” the document says.

The instructions were part of a list called “12 steps on the way to gender inclusiveness” developed by Gender Spectrum, an organization that “provides education, training and support to help create a gender sensitive and inclusive environment for children of all ages.”

Other items on the list include asking all students about their preferred pronouns and decorating the classroom with “all genders welcome” door hangers.

If teachers still find it “necessary” to mention that genders exist at all, the document states, they must list them as “boy, girl, both or neither.

The penguins could do better as teachers.

We don't need sex in this modern world. We have sperm banks, adoption agencies, and turkey basters. Just ask Rosie O'Donnell.
