The school district now says it's o.k. to call children boys and girls. But an earlier directive included the statement that biological sex must be seen as a spectrum or range of possibilities rather than a binary set of only two options.
Very frankly, they got caught when one of the teachers followed the directive to the letter. But be assured, under the radar, there are emails/memos saying the directive is still in effect.
Here is a link to the original story aired on KOB-TV: http://www.kob.com/albuquerque-news/teachers-at-school-directed-to-stop-addressing-students-as-lsquoboys-and-girlsrsquo/4240210/

This is getting to be more than ridiculous. . .such a waste of time and money. America is raising another mixed up generation.

Sure, I can easily understand how an elementary school principal could
accidently copy material directly from the website of "an LGBT advocacy group" into a list of "procedural directives" directed at newly hired teachers.
I could actually imagine making such a mistake myself. It might easily happen to anyone.

Except that is wasn’t a mistake, until the backlash after the public found out.

This is how PC creeps into every aspect of our lives. Some Lib has a ‘great idea’ and pushes it on others before they realize it and can react.
Even if it only works 1 or 2% of the times, it still advances the progressive Lib agenda.

Armenta said Touloumis had copied and pasted information from an LGBT advocacy group that does not represent district policy.
Then, why was she cutting and pasting anything from any website that 'does not represent district policy' and then use it in a formal presentation which would imply that it is district policy?
Armeta's excuse just digs the hole a little deeper.

Google easily discovers the original text. It is from an organization called Gender Spectrum, founded by one Stephanie Brill. Here is her picture:
Here are some of her publications:
- The Transgender Child: A Handbook for Families and Professionals
- The Queer Parent's Primer
- The New Essential Guide to Lesbian Conception, Pregnancy, and Birth
Ms. Brill has also been the subject of coverage on 20/20, The San Francisco Chronicle, NPR's All Things Considered and This American Life, and The New York Times.
The "Executive Director" or Gender Spectrum is a person named Lisa Kenney, who is lists as her "first professional love" the experience of "working at a company that provided education-based camps for high school and college kids throughout California."

This was nothing more than a mistake by a human being drone.
To: CedarDave
The text that was "accidently" copied into the principal's Power Point is from
this webpage. It can be found toward the bottom, under the topic heading "Gender Terminology."
Taken as a whole, this web page is an incredibly wordy and gassy screed that - in nearly two thousand words - expresses the ideas that
- A person has a gender and a sex, which have almost nothing to do with one another.
- While there are only two sexes, there are an infinite number of genders.
- Gender is a social construct.
- The current concept of gender is the product of a repressive society, and must be changed.
- There is such a thing as "gender privilege."
- Several new terms and expressions must be learned if one is to understand the concept of gender.
Every bit of this disquisition will be familiar to people who frequent Free Republic. It is all utterly conventional LGBT material, at least with respect to the currently fashionable manifestation of that culture. I didn't detect a single new idea in any of it.

The principal is only upset that she was caught.

Picture of the principal. I wonder how she was influenced and by whom?

If there is a push to do away with the term boy and girl, the next thing will be to do away with term juvenile and adult, and you know benefits from that...
