A Florida teacher's request for students to use gender-neutral pronouns has left parents divided in opinion.

Math and science teacher Chloe Bressack, who teaches at Canopy Oaks Elementary in Tallahassee, Florida, sent the letter home to the 5th grade class at the beginning of the year.

From Mx Bressick’s Twitter account “The voice of the many should not be silenced by the power of the few.”

I wonder if she fails to see the disconnect here?

My response to her would be” “You are a Lunatic who will NOT be teaching my child, ever!”

A better response is to ‘ax’ Mx Bressack, period.

I tend to use gender-neutral pronouns, like “dem”, “dat”, “y’all”, “azzwipe” and the like.

“If we use words like they,them,their instead of he, she, how do we tell the difference between our bitch and our ho???”

Simple. Beeach is two syllables, Ho is one.

I was told that they weren’t allowed and that they’d be taken away, because the school didn’t want anyone to be different than anyone else.

Kids are learning socialism/communism in elementary school and we wonder why they are like they are now.

But also a good primer for military service.

Then about week 3, they're whining they have to spend their own money because little Jose doesn't have safety scissors and glue. EXCUSE ME! What about everything they threw out last year and the year before and the year before and the year before and the year before? HUH? Explain that! Yes, agree it all starts with the parents.

Off topic, but the Red Cross has been outed for doing the same with excess supplies, because they'll always get more donations. No more from me!

“Sadly, they/them/their are used ALL the time, incorrectly, by nearly everyone.”

You are so right. It drives me crazy. They must not teach “agreement” in English/Grammar classes any more.

Yes, it’s all about sharing. They start in kindergarten. Everyone has to share. I told my sons if you are playing with or using something and another kid asks to have you tell them, “wait till I’m done” and keep playing.

You are certifiably insane, if you think that.

Primers for military service are things like team sports, boy scouts, volunteering, wanting to help your fellow man.

Not asking the teacher for a pencil

I try not to get ugly on these things, but you’re a special kind of stupid.

In which branch of the military did you serve?

“...the school didn’t want anyone to be different than anyone else.”

Neither does the military. You take the same training, eat the same chow at the same time, dress in the same uniform, obey the same UCMJ and do as you are told, when you are told to do it. If you are different there are consequences.

Later on, individuality is allowed back in as specialized training fits one for the various job requirements. But kids who have been through that sameness adjust to military life more readily than those who have not.

I have not addressed the attitude towards military service spread by liberal “educators”, which will remove the concept of serving from many young people’s thinking.

Am I stupid? Maybe, but are you showing a tad of ignorance?

US Army....11B1P....

The military takes young men and molds them to be warfighters, who follow orders, eventually lead men and be able to think on their feet to solve a problem. Who will give selflessly to protect the man to his left and right.

What is happening in the schools is indoctrination to be mindless, without thought, zombies that only know that there is a central authority figure that gives them what they need, what they want and what is given to them is forcibly taken from those that have the ability to provide it. Thus raising generations of whiny, pussies that are some of the most selfish humans on the planet.

Kind of like the old adage..

From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.

There’s a YUGE difference.
