War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. And inequality is equality - at least in the mind of Karen Keller, the Bainbridge Island Review, and their enablers.
Reported recently was that Keller, a kindergarten "teacher" at Captain Johnston Blakely Elementary in Bainbridge Island, Wash., was refusing to let the boys in her class play with Legos during free play time. As the Bainbridge Island Review (BIR) wrote:
In Karen Keller's kindergarten classroom, boys can't play with Legos.They can have their pick of Tinkertoys and marble tracks, but the colorful bricks are "girls only."
"I always tell the boys, 'You're going to have a turn' — and I'm like, 'Yeah, when hell freezes over' in my head," she said. "I tell them, 'You'll have a turn' because I don't want them to feel bad."

There are two groups of children who should never be exposed to this evil woman: boys . . . and girls.
Actually, I have always wanted my children to play with Tinkertoys and marble tracks because you actually have to think of where things go in order to build something that works. You can just keep piling LEGOs up to get where you want.
SO if she wants to dumb down the girls, more power to her.
No wonder young boys are now identifying themselves as females.
The boy always picked the trucks and cars to play with or the building blocks. He never once went for the girl type toys or dolls.
The girls like to pick out the musical toys but often go for the girl-type toys. We have a toy oven that the girls demand we (me) always bring up out of the basement so they can play mommy and serve dinner. At no time did any of the girls ever pick up a toy plane, train, or car and imitate the sound of the engine like the boy.
Face it feminists, boys and girls are different.
Not as a teacher anyway...
Interesting piece.
Gender Socialization, Childrens Toys and Monkeys

My son experienced that in 1st and 2nd grade, 1998-99. I was so mad. Little girl sitting there in an assembly (they were on the gym floor) chatting away, but my son had to sit next to the teacher and not move. b**ch. Then in 5th grade, different school, the principal put him in a custodial room for lunch. Permanently. Dike. I transferred him to another school I had worked at and presto. No problems.
He was a strong willed child and became a strong willed Marine. They just can’t handle real men in the making.
Of the three I would say that tinkertoys are the most open ended and allow the most inventive designs. They are much more efficient than legos since you’re basically building a framework rather than filling in a bulk area. I remember as a kid not being a big fan of legos because they were so dang tedious.
Wheel of Fortune....I’d like to buy a vowel Pat. “what four letter word starts with a C ends with a T.., and describes someone who should never EVER be allowed in a classroom”
It’s natural and universal. Anything going against God’s plan is satanic.
Isn’t this child abuse?
Growing up, I guess I was inclined to building/fixing things. When I was 11 I had my bicycle completely disassembled. I was overhauling it. My Dad said he hoped I could get it put back together. I did. BTW, I still have that bike that Santa brought me in 1966.
That leads me to today, where I’m an Electronics Technician. 20 years in the Navy, and 17 years working FOR the Navy. And I love my job.
Anyone exercising such gross parental malfeasance by sending their kids to the government to be brainwashed deserves to have their kids exposed to this type Satanic treatment.
You asked for it..!
Wanna bet this is a carpet muncher?
They just can’t understand normal thinking....
“Carpet muncher”?..........
You beat me to it.
Has it occurred to this mental midget of a teacher that some of the boys will come away from this lunacy with the idea of getting even with women for having been discriminated against in such a flagrant fashion. She is likely creating the sexist monsters she despises.
I remember at the age of 11 or 12 trying to fix my bike. I asked my father for some help as I was not mechanically inclined. He looked at me for about ten seconds. Then he said nobody helped him when he was young, why should he help me. He then took a puff on his pipe and walked away. Somehow, I managed to get the bike to run correctly. Don't ask me how.
I had checked out and studied a school library book....and traced the exploded diagram of the coaster brake. In much the same way as an adult I’ve learned woodworking and fully restored my 69 VW.
