School Told to Call Kids ‘Purple Penguins’ Because ‘Boys and Girls’ Is Not Inclusive to Transgender
National Review ^ | OCTOBER 8, 2014 1:50 PM | Katherine Timpf

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 training document 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.

How about “boys and girls and freaks who can’t figure it out.”

That is why LIBs worked hard in the 60’s and 70’s to close mental hospitals...and, for the most part, succeeded. They knew that they would be put there for the rest of their worthless lives if they weren’t shuttered.

Just what I was saying last week, we live in a day and age where public schools are obsolete, there is no need for them anymore other than baby sitting. The technology is already there where a kid can learn at home electronically, Khanacademy.org is one good example. Just imagine how much taxpayer money would be saved if each kid could be set up with a one time learning system at home and that is it. If the government feels it must stick its mitts in it, then have kids come in for quarterly tests, it’s ridiculous with the tech we have today why we are still using this antiquated system, especially now that it’s been commandeered by leftists. No more of this “purple penguin” BS. No more teaching kids Lincoln was a democrat, no more hiding the holocaust, no more forcing kids to sing the praises of Obama like he is the Messiah. Remember this blatant form of child abuse?

You shouldn’t call these idiots “jackasses”. They’re educated and deserve a more respectful, classy and erudite label. How about “rectumite”?

using purple demonstrates a color preference and is discriminatory towards all other colors. Designations such as Ladies and Gentlemen lead to acknowledgement of maturity and respect in the form of sir and ma’am. How does one expect a child to keep a straight face calling a tall purple penguin, ma’am? And can we even use ‘tall” at all to describe adults? isn’t that discriminatory to short penguins? And is an adult a penguin at all?

Our “educators” are insane and mentally abusing our children using the public school system to do so.

What if there are students who do not “identify” as penguins? And why must they refer to what color they are?
