Florida Parents Outraged After Teacher Demands Her 5th Graders Use Gender Neutral Pronouns

Over the past year or so, we"ve observed in amazement as one "institution of higher indoctrination" (a.k.a. "university") after another came up with replacement pronouns for politically incorrect "hate speech" like "freshman".  Vanderbilt even forced its teachers and administrators to wear name tags defining their pronouns just so there would be absolutely no gender confusion that might lead to a nasty "triggering" event or unnoticed "microaggression (see: Vanderbilt University Name Placards For Faculty Offices Will Now Include "Preferred Pronouns").




But, while such things are expected from our millennial youth on progressive college campuses, parents of a 5th grade class in Tallahassee, Florida were somewhat shocked when they received a letter from "Mx. (pronounced Mix)" Bressack demanding that her students only refer to her using gender neutral terms like "Mx." instead of "Ms." and "they, them, their" instead of "he, his, she, hers."  Per the Tallahassee Democrat:





"One thing that you should know about me is that I use gender neutral terms. My prefix is Mx. (pronounced Mix). Additionally, my pronouns are "they, them, their" instead of "he, his, she, hers". I know it takes some practice for it to feel natural, but my experience students catch on pretty quickly. We"re not going for perfection, just making an effort! Please feel free to reach out to me or administration if you have any questions. My priority is for all of my students to be comfortable in my classroom and have a space where they can be themselves while learning."





Of course, it didn"t take long for the parents of Mx. Bressack"s students to post their outrage to a Facebook group called “Tally Moms Stay Connected." One mom bluntly asked  "is this fucking for real?" while another dad wondered whether it might makes sense to just stick to teaching math and science if your job is to be a math and science teacher.




Meanwhile, principal Paul Lambert assured parents that Mx. Bressack enjoyed his full support but that "teachers in our district will not be allowed to use their influence in
the classroom to advance any personal belief or political agenda."





"We support her preference in how she"s addressed, we certainly do," Lambert said. "I think a lot of times it might be decided that there is an agenda there, because of her preference — I can tell you her only agenda is teaching math and science at the greatest level she can."



Lambert acknowledged there have been some calls to the Canopy Oaks front office regarding the letter.



"There has been some (contact from concerned parents), the thing that has brought good understanding is, it"s not a preference that"s being applied to anyone other than the teacher."



"According to Principal Lambert, the teacher addresses students daily by using the pronouns he, she, him and her.  The teacher also uses ma’am and sir when responding to students. As a personal preference, however, the teacher simply prefers to be referred to in gender neutral terms as that of a coach," Hanna wrote.



"I can assure you that teachers in our district will not be allowed to use their influence in the classroom to advance any personal belief or political agenda. At this time, I do not believe that is the case in this instance."



So what say you...necessary step toward forming a more perfect progressive society or just complete insanity?

London Transport Employees Instructed to Not Use Phrase "Ladies and Gentlemen" Anymore

Content originally published at iBankCoin.com


The London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, in conjunction with the gay rights group, Stonewall, scored a major victory today by banning the phrase "ladies and gentlemen" from the vernacular used by London Transport employees. It"s simply not in touch with the times, as genders defined by the DNA helix are old hat, worn, and not the reality that is supported by the far left -- which is filled with hermaphrodites who can literally copulate with themselves.


More on this important, groundbreaking, civil rights victory for the gay class.





The phrase "ladies and gentleman" is to be scrapped from announcements on the Tube in a bid to make them gender-neutral.
 
London Underground staff have been told to instead use greetings such as "good morning everyone" to ensure that all passengers feel "welcome".
 
All new pre-recorded announcements will also be changed to use the new phrases, Transport for London (TfL) said.
 
Campaigners had said the phrase "ladies and gentleman" - which is commonly used by drivers - was “outdated”, adding that it is“polite, but really belonging to yesterday”.
 
Stonewall, the LGBT campaign group, welcomed the decision, which comes after months of campaigning and was supported by London mayor Sadiq Khan.
 
The change of phrases follows similar moves in other companies, universities and schools across the country to use gender-neutral language.
 
"We want everyone to feel welcome on our transport network," said Mark Evers, director of customer strategy at TfL.
 
"We have reviewed the language that we use in announcements and elsewhere and will make sure that it is fully inclusive, reflecting the great diversity of London."
 
Mr Khan said he was "keen" that TfL speak in a "more neutral way".
 
He added: "TfL serves a vibrant, diverse and multicultural city, and provision of an inclusive transport service is at the heart of TfL"s purpose.
 
"I am aware however, that some customers may not relate to or feel comfortable with the way that certain station announcements are made."
 
TfL said it had told staff about the use of the new phrases, but that "from time-to-time, well-meaning staff may still use the term "ladies and gentlemen".
 
"If this happens frequently, we will issue reminders to staff," it added.
 
Stonewall said in a statement: "Language is extremely important to the lesbian, gay, bi and trans community, and the way we use it can help ensure all people feel included.


"We welcome gender neutral announcements to be rolled out across TfL as it will ensure that everyone - no matter who they identify as - feels accounted for."



When I say "they" are trying to control language, indoctrinate your children through the schools, and through pop culture, I mean it. The very best thing you can do, providing you have a little money, is to send your children to good private schools and explain to them that policies like this are wrong and there is nothing improper with being polite and addressing people as "ladies" or "gentlemen." Take it from me, a parent who has sent his children to both public and private schools -- it"s not even comparable. Two different worlds.


This is a key pillar in the establishment"s plot to destroy the nuclear family, neuter the male gender, and corral the lower classes into group think slave camps of thought, and then have them become loyal serfs --  broken spiritually and physically.


Society is more augmented than you know.
