“Tristan has long hair about down to their shoulder,” said Miller.”

Is it now illegal for an English teacher to teach pronoun antecedent agreement?

Irreparable??!!

It is high time that there be a tsunami of parents raising hell in the public schools about the irreparable harm these woke fools are doing to THEIR children.

Don’t kid yourself. You’re joking, I hope. It is sad. The concept of antecedent agreement, and indeed of prescriptive rules for grammar, are about 3 generations vanished.

No, this “they” is gender fluidization and self-absorbed avoidance of the dreadful and dreaded “he” or “she”.

Good thing English plural pronouns are neuter.

I bet the existence of this poor 11-year kid is the pride and joy of their (sic) Mom’s social set, ensuring Mom gets maximum woke points. Which as we know, is the point of child-rearing.
