The boys should just claim they identify as girls.

So, teaching discrimination is the solution? What an idiot.

Maybe a little easier to read:
In Karen Keller's kindergarten classroom, boys can't play with Legos.
They can have their pick of Tinkertoys and marble tracks, but the colorful bricks are "girls only."
"I always tell the boys, 'You're going to have a turn' -- and I'm like, 'Yeah, when hell freezes over' in my head," she said. "I tell them, 'You'll have a turn' because I don't want them to feel bad."
Although her approach might anger some parents, Keller is sticking to her guns: It's all part of a plan to get girls building during "free choice," the 40 minutes of unstructured play time embedded at the end of every school day.

Thank you. The font issue is making many FR posts very difficult to peruse these days.

But fathers aren't going to just stand around and allow their sons to be treated like this, are they?
Are they?
Fathers?

It is more than just an effort to indoctrinate. It reflects a deep confusion spawned by neurotic compulsions. Consider:
Feminist Delusion.

And the parents of the boys should file a federal lawsuit under Title IX alleging sex-based discrimination against the school board AND the teacher. The way to stop this crap is to hit the school system AND the teacher in the wallet.

I wonder if she is one of the white woman school teachers who celebrates Kwanzaa, in order to prove how liberal she is????

More Discrimination in the name of “Equality.”
“We had to crush the boys to make the girls feel safe to express themselves how we determine that they should express themselves.”

So, she lies to the males while also crushing them. Quite an example that you have set, teacher.

By this age my son already had archery equipment and was in the backyard shooting a foam block during recess. On occasion we would shoot his .22 together.
We can do this. We homeschool. :D

Here’s an update:
http://www.opposingviews.com/i/society/girls-only-lego-club-teacher-conducts-controversial-experiment-promote-gender-equality#article-fb-comments
from the article -
“Following the release of a recent news article, the Bainbridge Island School District (BISD) has received inquiries that reflect inaccurate perceptions about student access to Legos in Karen Keller’s kindergarten classroom at Blakely Elementary School. In keeping with a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education grant, Ms. Keller gave girls a designated time to play with the building toys during a 30-minute ‘free-choice’ time block in September 2015. This isolated, short-term practice ended in October. All students in all classrooms have and will continue to have access to all instructional and noninstructional materials.”

If that’s her, somebody do her a favor and snatch that quilt away before she gets oppressed by a gender construct.
