Pennsylvania Department Of Education says three-year-olds should have their preferred pronouns honored

What better than to have toddlers talking about their private parts in front of other kids, and adults?

According to a guide on the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s website, children as young as three years old can identify themselves as transgender, and the department recognizes the pronouns “ne, ve, ze/zie, and xe” as valid options for the kiddies to use.

Additionally, in the section titled “Creating Gender-Inclusive Schools and Classrooms,” teachers are urged to inquire as to their students’ preferred pronouns to prevent making inaccurate assumptions about their gender identities.

The website states: “In addition to the traditional pronouns (he/him, she/her, they), some people prefer to use gender-neutral pronouns, such as ne, ve, ze/zie and xe. If you don’t know a student’s preferred personal pronoun, it’s always best to ask.”

The website also defines “binary gender” as the “faulty concept that there are only two genders: male and female.” Moreover, the department’s webpage includes a lesson guide encouraging teachers to host a “gender-neutral day” in their classrooms for grades 3-12.

The guide says that, as part of the activity, students should pick two to three ways they will reject gender stereotypes, and the teacher should make specific commitments to challenge gender norms in the classroom.

Yes, let’s get kids questioning themselves—and their bodies-- as early as possible! Let’s get them talking about their private parts in front of other kids and an adult by three- or four-years old. Let’s tell them that there aren’t just boys and girls, but a myriad of genders and sexes!

but neither of us imagined the teachers had to play along

It's likely they had some help.

I have an idea...ask a three year old “What is a pronoun?”

Why not leave it to the parents to figure out the gender,…

You can’t be serious. There are bathrooms in every school and the children on day one have to know “which bathroom” to use. The parents ARE the main source of the problem in this sex confusion. They are turning these kids into confused individuals. Teachers who support this madness need to be thrown out of the classroom as well. Every school board in the US should get on board to support sanity. You either believe there are two sexes or not.

“The parents ARE the main source of the problem in this sex confusion.”

You have been duped again by the woke Left.

They want you to believe the parents are causing gender confusion, thus the “need” for kindergarten teachers to discuss deviant sex with them at such an early age. This is a lie just like the lie that climate change is a man-made existential crises.

Just like the lie that gun violence is caused by law-abiding citizens owning guns. Just like the lie that urban gang violence and black-on-black crime is somehow caused by “systemic racism” among “white supremacists”.

No, this “problem” of young children being supposedly unhappy with their biological gender is rarely created by parents - it is being caused by public schools introducing the topics of LBGQT to children WAY too young - and against the will of the parents.
