France is replacing its plan to teach children the “ABCD of equality” between boys and girls after protests by some parents who feared it was a stealth effort to erase gender differences. […]

The initial plan was essentially an experiment with 275 schools, and it came under protest from Roman Catholic leaders, the French far right, and some parents groups. …

The problem, as I see it, is that leftists define equality as ‘the same’.

Boys and girls are NOT the same! They are not equal in body strength, especially after about age 10 or so. Physically girls are weaker than boys. Intuitively girls might have the edge. So many differences, that it is obvious that the creator had something more in mind when he created two genders!

Since most leftists are agnostics, they cannot comprehend the concept of ‘equality with God’ or as in the Declaration of independence, ‘endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights’.

Not replacing, just giving up on it being a state mandate and leaving it to the teachers to figure it out.

“....the French far right....”

Stopped right there.

Because, as we all know, according to the (people’s) Associated Press, there is no such thing as a French (or any one else’s) “far left”.

Shove it, AP, you have the dubious distinction of being even less believed than your minion low IQ idiot leader, Bar-yuck Obamdork.

BTW, how’s your “Constitutional Scholar” doing lately, Obamaholes?

France, of course, once took the egalitarian lunacy to its ultimate conclusion, in the "Reign of Terror," where young girls had their heads lopped off, for having been born into noble families. But that egalitarianism is a form of lunacy, wherever it gains the upper hand, should be evident to all reasonable people.

No one reading this, ever sat in a classroom with their equal on either side, unless it was their identical twin or triplet. We are all different complexes of a vast array of personal attributes. Egalitarianism, is simply a way to lead people away from proper self-development, into cloud-borne folly. It is truly The Greatest Mischief Ever Wrought.

In the eyes of God men and women always have been,and always will be,equal.In terms of human civilization the contributions of men and women have been equally valuable.

But it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that men and women aren't the same.
