Via Katherine Timpf of NRO, I’m 90 percent sure this is a hoax. No, wait, let me rephrase: I would be 90 percent sure this is a hoax, if not for the fact that the school superintendent confirmed on a local radio show that these materials were handed out to teachers at one Lincoln-area middle school. Repeat: Middle school.
Oh well. High time America’s 10-year-olds started considering whether they’re cis or trans.
The recommendations about intervening when an androgynous child is being bullied are fine, but c’mon. This isn’t real, is it?
I can’t read those italicized parts without hearing Mike Judge as Mr. Van Driessen. More from Nebraska Watchdog:
A handout called “12 easy steps on the way to gender inclusiveness” advised teachers to avoid separating students by gender, but instead by birth dates or preferences. For example, they could ask students whether they prefer skateboards or bikes, milk or juice, dogs or cats, summer or winter.
“Always ask yourself, ‘Will this configuration create a gendered space?’” said Step 1 of the handout.
Or they could “Create classroom names and then ask all of the ‘purple Penguins’ to meet at the rug,” the handout said…
Kids who are “living an alternative lifestyle” or have a “gender difference” are going through an “emotionally traumatic time,” Joel said, and other students “don’t understand what that child represents” so the school needs to help students understand “differences are OK” and “we’re all there to learn.”
How many transgendered middle-schoolers does Lincoln have that a solution this comprehensive is needed? If you want to teach sensitivity to “gender difference,” just devote a class hour to it. The sort of sustained Orwellian campaign they’re describing to treat kids’ use of binary gender terms as a thoughtcrime in need of constant correction is odd. Frankly, if I were the parent of a kid who’s androgynous and worried about him being bullied, I think I’d prefer less attention to this issue in class than more attention. Younger children might not perceive an androgynous classmate as different to the same degree that pubescent kids would; spending too much time emphasizing that some people aren’t really girls or boys might give the bullies more reason to see a girlish-looking boy as something strange.
Oh well. The school board is meeting to discuss it on October 14th. Can’t wait.
Carbon units... (V'ger in "Star Trek: The Motionless Picture")

Let these kids grow up and become law enforcement officers, and they won't be able to say that male DNA was found at the crime scene because it's insensitive that they didn't ask the bloodstains what they identified as.
Put me down as “questioning” I’m questioning the sanity of the school administrators.
I wouldn't let that guy touch my kid and would drag my kid out of that school ASP!
Ain't she/he cute?...'Stephanie Brill'... Founder & Chair, Board of Directors of "Gender Spectrum"...
and a few words from herself at her site
..."my heartfelt appreciation to each and every family of Gender-expansive and transgender children for leading the way to 'a brand-new world'........ My previous works include ."The Queer Parent’s Primer"... and The "New Essential Guide to Lesbian Conception, Pregnancy, and Birth".
Yep, it’s only a matter of time before God shows up and goes,
“Ok everybody, out of the pool.”
...”Put me down as “questioning” I’m questioning the sanity of the school administrators”....
This is the homosexual agenda masked as “something else” and “colored” to make it palatable to those who would not otherwise drink it. The organization they’re going thru is made up of feminists and gay woman primarily.....
The schools have been taken over by the Progressive’s and this is what’s the result...it’s going to get far worse....
Administrators aren’t going to deny this .....most don’t care one way or another because they too are progressive.
LOLOL...
I’ve often said...”God’s going to come down to the stage and tell everyone..”Curtain’s down, it’s closing time!”.
“If I can arbitrarily choose my “gender,” I should also be able to arbitrarily choose my race, or species, and expect everyone else to cater to my psychosis.”
If I can choose my “gender,” then it should be a simple thing for me to be able to choose my doctor. Oh, wait, “choice” doesn’t work that way in Fundamentally Transformed Amerika.
I’m ready to be taken off this planet. Thoughts of that one-way flight to Mars come to mind here. Folks have lost their ever-loving minds. This is absurd!
There are girls and there are boys. Then there is the relatively rare anomaly of hermaphrodite. Why are we catering over-board to the rare hermaphrodite?! Idiotic people! 2 genders is what we’ve had on planet earth from the beginning of time and I don’t care if they FEEL like they aren’t what they really are, it doesn’t change the fact!
More of the endless stupidity from the education/acadumbia establishment.
