What pronouns should teachers in government schools use?

[kaz]

Sue

Who sues whom for what?

 

[kaz]

Teachers should address others by their names. If the need for a pronoun occurs, teachers should adhere to the rules of the english language.

I am with you on when leftists compel speech. Calling them by their name and avoiding pronouns is a reasonable option.

"teachers should adhere to the rules of the english language."

No sure what you mean by this

But what if little Johnny wants to be called Jill, without so much as a legal name change?

“Hey you, whatchamacallit” works nicely in all situations.

I hope you're kidding. Teachers being dicks to students isn't a good option.

Isn't that what the left is doing? Being dicks?

The teacher making a political point just confirms what their leftist parents are telling them, doesn't it?

I'm totally against the left on this. My point in the thread is the difference between politics and personal interactions.

Note I made a point in the teacher calling the student what they want that applies when the student asks politely. If the student is a dick, that is different

What is Susan wants to be called Sue? Should they have to legally change their name?

I feel this is getting into dangerous territory. What if democrat students get together and want to be called rat vomit, which seems likely to me. Should a teacher say "Rat vomit, can you come up front and recite Stalin's speech of Aug 11, 1949?

Then they failed the criteria I laid out in the op. There is nothing polite about asking to be called rat vomit.

That's why I phrased it the way I did

You're being absurd, and purposefully side stepping my point.

I would not fire teachers or compel speech, but I say the teacher is an ass if they aren't polite to their student and call them at a personal level what they want to be called. That isn't a political position, it's being a decent person.


It's not possible to list EVERY possibility in these polls. If none are perfect, please pick the closest answer to your view and explain in your post.

Virginia school board meeting explodes as members face backlash for suspension of Tanner Cross

Loudoun County teacher Tanner Cross saw an outpouring of support Tuesday as irate parents and educators blasted the school system's decision to suspend him after his comments about gender.

It's a political position to redefine "polite" as "playing into whatever delusion someone wants to impose on others".

It is not impolite to be biologically and grammatically correct; it is impolite to demand that others be incorrect to suit you.

Conservatives should homeschool their children.

Not a bad idea.

No sense having them in institutions where people are confused about what they are.

If the teacher wants respect they must give respect, the same for the student.

The problem is, that it appears that in order for a teacher to “give respect” to students these days, that it requires a 6,000 page political correctness manual and a junior G Man decoder ring just to do it.

“Excuse me student, In order for me to give you some respect I’ll first need you to send me that memo regarding your preferred pronoun is for TODAY.”

Nametags would help...I would simply refer to them as you or you all...

Yeah except for the fact that most of the nonsense that students want to be called these days wouldn’t fit on a name tag, they’d need a billboard.

If only they could be projected into the age of being a senior and could experience a life without overproduction of glandular emotions.

How about calling them by the name on their birth certificate.

 

[Cecilie1200]

There are only two genders. You do not get to chose yours.
You call it like you see it,

Even democrats agree with that.

Since when?

Don't call a student Dick if they obviously are a c^nt.

I think the anti-social twats should just keep their kids at home if they can't deal with the world in 2021 and beyond.

What if democrat students want to be called "Hair sniffers"? I also have a problem with the poll Q's. Why not add another option. Should all fascist dem teachers be fired and be replaced with decent people?

OK, so give me a list of all possible options. It's not possible.

Look at the questions this way, why I picked the options I did.

1) Government should enforce leftist bigotry

2) It's up to the teacher, but if the student is decent about it, the teacher should be decent about it

3) Government should enforce religious bigotry

If the student is a dick, I don't really care.

I think that covers the options

There's nothing polite about asking - demanding would be more accurate to what they're doing - that people tell lies and support delusions they don't agree with.

Agreed, but that's not what this thread is about

If my teacher wants me to call him Mr. Smith and I don't want to I can call him anything I want?

No, they don't

Students who believe they are female should wear pink stars, students who believe they are male should wear blue stars, and students think they are both should wear green stars.
