Would be interested to know if this was a Betsy DeVos or Trump appointee who wrote this threatening memo or if it was a Swamp Dweller. Thoughts?

Can students make up their own genders and pronouns? Or are they only allowed to pick one of the US Government’s List of Officially Approved Genders?

just found out who wrote the memo: Candice Jackson...a supposedly VERY conservative lawyer:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candice_Jackson

This makes no sense at first blush. I did read the memo (the link is to the memo is in the article)...and though the author accurately quotes Jackson, I’d still like to know more. I just am not a lawyer.

Someone find the official EO or other, or, it is fake news.

Number the students, make them wear the number, refer to them as “student 1234” or “student in question” or “said student” in all spoken and written communication. No possible violation that way.

Whoever sent it out, the best thing to do is to not comply. They count on fear based obedience.

Simply refuse to acknowledge what they demand you must. A boy is not a girl and never will be. That’s why they freak out when they see people laugh at their nutty ideas. That is how the whole edifice crumbles and they know it.

They HAVE to demand acceptance. They are even happy with begrudging cowed lip service acceptance. But they know someone openly mocking their idea, and saying its crap is cyanide to them.

People should be called by their genetic-defining gender regardless of their perversions, preferred name, etc. At the end of the day, a male is a male, female is a female. The concept that we are going to punish someone for calling someone sir or miss or mz. or mrs or mr is absurd.

Just call all the kids by a dollar amount. That’s all they are to Publik Skrewel, anyway.

I liked the kid who chose his own personal pronoun, “his majesty”.

It was classic.

We have a perfectly good word for that: sex.

I would assume all these mentally ill children will have THEIR personal preferred pronoun tattoord on their foreheads so no one can get into any legal trouble. Right ? At least it will make for ease of avoidance.

How many legs does a dog have if we call his tail a leg?
Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.
Lincoln and others before him

teachers and students could be investigated for a civil rights violation if they refuse to use the “preferred pronouns” of transgender students.

Students too? So if a boy calls another boy who "identifies" as a girl a boy, gov't officials will harass him? And perhaps send him to a re-education camp?

Is it too much to ask this administration how this (if true as reported) will make America great again? In plain English, that is.

The WWII era is often referred to as ‘the greatest generation’. If that is true, and it probably is, why will no one in this administration strive to simply emulate that generation? Also in plain English please.

Our schools are a wreck. PC/social engineering has demoralized our armed forces. Is there a plan to fix this?

Well they have to do their part then and tattoo their preferred pronoun on their foreheads.

A question on that.

Is it “Trumps Admin” doing this, or the deep state holdouts among the destructionist federal union employees and life long bureaucrats doing as they damn well please, still?
