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.”

Well ones thing is certain. The educators are Marxist $HITHEAD$ and should be called such.
Just call them serfs, because that is what you are raising.
Steve Joel needs a new name. Rather than DR or Superintendent his new name should be Dr Unemployed Banned From-Education. There’s him a new hyphenated last name too so he’ll feel good about himself LOL.
How’s about we call them “children” or “kids”
How about calling them, hey idiots,come over here
If it has a penis, it’s a boy. No penis, it’s a girl. Use the word ‘idiots’ for today’s uneducated educators.
Language becomes meaningless. Welcome to 1984.
Who in the world would send their boys and girls to such a screwed up school? Oh...the people of Nebraska, who voted for Kathleen Sebelius as governor.
They should line up as “dumb and dumber.”
“Oh...the people of Nebraska, who voted for Kathleen Sebelius as governor.”
Uh, is it dumb or dumber to not know that Sebelius was governor of Kansas?
What I find difficult to believe is that it seems as though all the teachers agree with this ridiculous bovine feces and support it 100% in these cases.
I can GUARANTEE that the teachers in the school at which I teach would GUFFAW at such a policy, mocking the person/persons who devised such a ludicrous plan. Not ALL teachers share the marxist worldview.
Just line them up by “Innies” or “Outties”
The next generation of kids is going to be majorly screwed up - well, at least the public schooled ones.
I sympathize. As a teacher, you have to teach kids that words have meaning and clear identities. How can you do that if you can’t call a boy a “boy” and a girl a “girl”? How can you do that if you have to dance around one of the most fundamental concepts of language and grammar — pronouns? If this sticks, the next generation of kids is going to be stupid and uneducated.
See latest “South Park” episode.
Geez, didn’t you read the piece? They are going to be purple penguins. Totally insane.
Government school is child abuse. That means yours, too. This is in freaking Nebraska.
So if I were entering high school today, I could simply claim I’m feeling female today and start using the girls locker room for gym class. O brave new world...
Right up there with Redskins.
I am laughing so hard right now. “Oddly-colored waterfowl”. I love it.
NO! They are penguins and they are purple! Why can’t you understand that???
For school administrator. How about Dicks and Dickless
