"I am not a purple penguin, I am a free man!"

In an effort to make classrooms more gender-inclusive, teachers at a middle school in Lincoln, Nebraska were given teaching guidelines advising them not to use "gendered expressions" by calling students "boys and girls."
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that the teachers have been advised to use more gender-neutral expressions like campers, readers, athletes or even purple penguins.
The teaching 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.
Teachers could also "Create classroom names and then ask all of the 'purple penguins' to meet at the rug,' the handout said.
Step 1 of the handout reads, "Always ask yourself, 'Will this configuration create a gendered space?'"
Lincoln Superintendent Steve Joel told KLIN Radio's Drive Time Lincoln show that he was "pleased" with the training materials because the school district wants all children to be successful and not be afraid to go to school.
Joel said in a rapidly growing, diverse school district with 39,000 students — 30 percent of them "children of color," 43 percent living in poverty and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students throughout — the school district can't say "we need kids to look like this, or act like this or talk like this."
321.0 SPLAT Liberal Cerebral Defenestration (LCD) or Liberal Acquired Brain Absence (LABA), Complete loss of rationality, cognition, and cerebration due to indiscriminately keeping one's mind so far open that the brain falls out. First and subsequent encounters.
If you frequent the places where Liberals congregate, such as Washington, D.C., especially the Senate, the Democratic National Committee, or any public school administration office, you can hear the sounds of LCD and LABA sufferers around you. It's and distinctly splutteringly wet, loud "splat" as his or her brain hits the floor. Often, you'll hear multiple "splats" as particularly egregious idiotic ideas are introduced. Judging by the evidence of what happens to good conservative candidates sent to Washington, it appears that LCD and LABA must be contagious, so avoid remaining in close quarters with any Liberals as it may be airborn.
Are we designated as units yet and classed according to usefulness to the crown, tax revenue earning potential, or dissension expectancy?
Puke.
When is enough enough???? Wake up America!!!
For crying out loud.
ENOUGH INSANITY!
"I am not a purple penguin, I am a free man!"
There are transgendered students throughout this diverse school district???? Really???? How many??? Are there really a significant number that we have to avoid using “boys and girls” because there is someone, with liberal parents, who enable them in their delusion that they are neither boy or girl??? Really????
Maybe these ‘teachers’ shouldn’t be called teachers.
Just a thought.
I thought surely this was satire and then noticed it comes from a TV station in Califonia. That’s no surprise but calling student’s purple penguins instead of girls or boys. A man and and a woman needsto march up to the principal’s office have the woman smack him in face then have the guy punch his lights out and say, “see there IS a difference between boys and girls” then walk off.
What drives this intense determination to make life needlessly complicated?
Exactly, Jim. I had to pick up my jaw from my puke on the floor. . . Liberalism IS a mental disorder.
What ever happened to tar and feathering?
No, you are Number Six.
This should make for an interesting school board meeting. I hope all parents who plan to protest dress in ridiculous drag costumes, and roundly chastise the Board members if they are not referred to by their correct “gender identification”.
What’s more appropriate than to ridicule the ridiculous?
How about ‘hot dogs and donuts’ or ‘ATM card and card reader’?
Teachers have other options depending on where they live:
Youz guys shaddup
Y’all hush up
Niños, tranquilo!
Kids, stop talking
get kids out of government schools!
May I suggest Cerebral Lavage Technicians, AKA Brain Washers?
Just SICK. Why do the vast of students have to go through this garbage for a very very few messed up kids?
