I thought I heard that there is a school which will not use the terms boys and girls anymore.

This school would instead set up groups of students, such as the “purple penguins”, “golden tigers”, “white stallions”, and refer to students as part of said groups, never by their sex.

It’s a crazy world we live in.

I remember, back in my day, we played a soccer game in school, and the teams were the boys vs. the girls.

And, our PE teacher gave the girls a five goal handicap!!

The score of the game was 5-0 girls, before the game even started.

The boys won the game 9-7. I remember some classmates said the real score was 9-2, though the official score including handicap was 9-7.

I also remember a spelling bee in class, in which the two teams were the boys vs. the girls.

It stuns me that such clear ordinary divisions of people, such as male and female, just aren’t permitted in school anymore.

I’m sure many of you could come up with similar stories from your school days.

My old grade school, with male gym teachers, played kickball and dodgeball.

No more. No winning and losing anymore. No sports games where anyone can win.

It’s time to bring down all public schools because they have already destroyed any and all decency in education. They have just become liberal, PC indoctrination mills which are messing generations of kids minds up.

“”I’m sure many of you could come up with similar stories from your school days.””

You’re assuming some of us can remember that far back!!

I had a bet with a classmate in our senior year of high school (early ‘50’s) in a spelling bee. The bet was a sundae! I won and it took 3 years to collect on the bet - after I’d moved to CA from NY State and he was in the Army and came to see me. Two former farm kids and we went to an ice cream parlor on Wilshire Blvd., in Santa Monica and had no clue we were among the “stars”... We still compete with online tests and it’s fun. He’s two weeks late right now getting his results to me from one test. He wouldn’t make a bet this time. Said he’d never live long enough to pay it off! LOL
