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.
Dont 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.

Millstone. Neck. Deep blue sea.
Purple Penguin?
I would be insulted by that.
Being called Purple? Being called Penguin?
Penguins, first of all, are not purple; they are black & white. You Ditz!
Second, they are short. Ditto on the Ditz part.
Third, they smell. More ditto on the Ditz part.
Fourth, they waddle. Additional ditto on the Ditz part.

Whoever came up with this PC crap should have it crammed up their posterior.
This would have to be in Lincoln. Nowhere else in Nebraska would this kind of silliness be tolerated, or even considered. And I doubt it will survive long even in Libtardville.
Purple is racist!
What if they self identify as moose?
There are boys and girls and dweebs and dorks and nerds.
In England there are also Muggles.
It sounds like they lifted the idea from the Hogwarts Academy. If they care about crap like that, why not call them students or scholars. Genitally challenged twistyhumps!
I just had to read this while eating
Point out and inquire when you hear others referencing gender in a binary manner, it states. Ask things like . . . What makes you say that? I think of it a little differently. Provide counter-narratives that challenge students to think more expansively about their notions of gender.
You think of it a little differently, huh? Well you must be an idiot. This is the kind of crap that parents should remember when a school board thinks that they should have a longer school day or a longer school year.
This needs to be terminated with extreme prejudice. Do what you have to do.
gag worthy it is
What is wrong with “little monsters”?
“I’m a boy....I’m a boy...but my ma won’t admit it.....”
