One high school nearly fifty years ago was too small to have enough money to fund more than two electives, Agriculture and Home Economics. The guys all had to take Agriculture, join the FFA (Future Farmers of America), and undergo initiation and hazing into the FFA. The gals all had to take Home Economics, join the FHA (Future Homemakers of America), and undergo the FHA initiation hazing. Then a few of the guys insisted upon taking the Home Economics class. The Principal objected, but the parents backed up their boys. The school board directors opposed it too, until the lawyers pointed out how its was the school board’s fault for not offering any more elective classes to meet the minimum number of credits a student had to take. The FHA chapter faced a few problems that year, because the boys were ineligible to join.
The student protest worked, however, because the students were offered at least another one or two sensible elective courses.
Interesting. I have no issues with boys in Home Ec. I do have issues with young men with boy parts who say they are transgendered being given access to the girl’s locker rooms.
I have also just read a story where it is being suggested that kids be given non-genderize toys. I don’t have kids, but I do have nephews and a niece. I think it’s interesting to see the very natural draw of toys. Now that certain sectors are attempting to force gender neutrality upon us, we’re in for a world of hurt. Parents need to hold strong on this.
If I had a girl and they wanted to allow boys into the girls locker room, I’d have her pulled out so fast their heads would spin.
