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 the Lincoln Public Schools.
“Create classroom names and then ask all of the ‘purple penguins’ to meet on the rug,” it advises.
The document also warns against asking students to “line up as boys or girls,” and suggests asking them to line up by whether they prefer “skateboards or bikes / milk or juice / dogs or cats / summer or winter / talking or listening.”
“Always ask yourself . . . ‘Will this configuration create a gendered space?’” the document says.
The instructions were part of a list called “12 steps on the way to gender inclusiveness” developed by Gender Spectrum, an organization that “provides education, training and support to help create a gender sensitive and inclusive environment for children of all ages.”

“I can’t decide if these kids will become sissies or panzies? “
The correct answer is confused....
Some fifth-grader is standing there, grinning, and writing up a fake note to the teacher and signing mom’s signature to it....claiming that he’s been reassigned as a “he-she-it”, and by lunch...the school principal will be calling the school district manager to ask for instructions on how to handle a he-she-it. This will get sent onto the state guy, and the state board by nightfall.
Perfect time to beat the living sh-t out of whoever thought this up and implemented it. It should be done in front of the kids and when it’s over you look at the kids and say, “ There are WINNERS and LOSERS in life and this idiot is a LOSER. Don’t grow up to be a loser.
Surprise surprise. Gender Spectrum, located in the bay area, provides important legal services as well as trainers. In other words they are a made up group of lawyers ready to sue anyone for anything and shake down taxpayers.
What a bunch of PC codswallop!
What is a “gendered space?”
Nebraska? GTFO.

“Reason No. 8376452783194 to homeschool”
Okay that’s it....Close it down.
Yeah, let’s change what’s been since the beginning of time. Let’s insinuate that women give birth to oddly colored water fowl, simply so we don’t offend a few screwed up kids. This is what happens when you don’t allow the mentally ill to be locked up and instead give them jobs so they can spout their craziness to rub off on impressionable young children.
How about we stop funding this lunacy and en masse withold paying local school taxes?
I said it a million times and I will say it again, elections matter... from POTUS down to the damned township dogcatcher. Be active and run for School Board... or support conservative School Board candidates. The leftist are fundamentally transforming the nation... by brainwashing YOUR little purple penguins!
After listening to the vegan cry about snow the chicken I thought the weird stuff of this week couldn’t get weirder and here comes this!
Purple penguins? That’s soooo offensive to the native penguins all across the global community spectrum. Where’s their progressive sensitivities?
This person should be made an example...as a lesson to others
So Nebraska is turning to ‘purple’? Who knew?
A little parental outrage is in order here.
One of the music production boards I read (for the Reaper DAW audio software) is largely a refuge from PC BS. A miracle considering it’s all musicians.
One guy when on a spaz “I’m OFFENDED! fit because of the name. and as a joke, had “Mortal” under the name of each poster. It offended him because his brother was terminal. He made demands, kicked screamed and generally acted the lib to the fullest. So management appeased him.
they changed “mortal” to “Human Being with Feelings”.
We haven’t seen him since. These idiots need that treatment and that attitude thrown at them every time they open their communist freak mouths.
Comrade should do nicely for all genders and pseudo-genders.
Openly defies the law and is rewarded with a job.
Would you have ever imagined this happening in Nebraska? Those New Yorkers and Californians are moving en masse taking there degenerate minds with them.
