I identify as a 67 year old....I want my social security now.

Lucky you. It's been a few years since I could party like a 67 year old.

To that student, I would have told then that my gender was Your Majesty, and I expected them to use it.

Where are the parents of that school rising up, not in protest, but in rebellion; demanding the removal of the school administration for this madness? Not one more child, not one more penny for that school until the administration is dismissed! All of this is happening because we are allowing it to happen.

Yes indeed folks you got it. Now the Government can tell you what you must say. They were already enforcing what you can’t say “hate speech”. Now they force you to say things you believe to be untrue. Sweet Land of Liberty of Thee I Mourn.

>> a French teacher at West Point High School who resisted administrators’ orders to use male pronouns to refer to a ninth-grade student who had undergone a gender transition.

the prosecutors’ case will fall apart in court when the DNA evidence is presented. The teacher is right.

You lose your means of earning a living for words? This is not the USA. It’s totalitarian fascism creeping up on us.

If these cases continue to grow in number, I wonder how long it will be before Amazon's Alexa, Google's assistant, and Apple's Siri become full-time employees of the Leftist government hate speech enforcers. That is, if they aren't that already.

"Mr. Employee, please report to the HR department."

"Yes, Ms. HR? You wanted to see me?"

"No, Mr. Employee, I don't want to see you, you filthy slug, but to fire you, I must endure your presence."

"Last night, while you were watching the news in you house, you called Maxine Waters a black c-word bitch. The security people have cleaned out your desk and put your useless belongings next to your damned fossil fuel car in the parking lot. Too bad it's pouring rain. But before you leave, I am happy to tell you that the federal government people have confiscated your pay records, your bank records, your tax returns, and all of your purchase records. We have been tracking some serious discrepancies. I am happy to say that the next few decades of your useless life will be hell. And for your whore so-called wife, and your way-too-many non-aborted three children, too. Ah, your escorts are here. I'm finished with you, you effing filthy white maggot male. Ha, ha, ha!"

That’s funny. A French teacher. French is completely based on things being male or female. You can’t have the language without the basis of there being two genders and it’s a no no to mix them up.

I shall identify as the valedictorian and anything less than an A is discriminatory. Nonconforming teachers must be fired.

Every student who supports this teacher should go into school and make demands to be addressed by teachers/administrators as something other than what they are. Change it up the next day and the day after that. They have what, like 50 genders to choose from now ? Create chaos to illustrate how poorly thought out it policy is.

So who’s still glad that the government “got out of our bedrooms” and legalized gaydom?

Also note how “progressives” made sure to get that legalization before moving on to the marriage bit.

I'm glad I wasn't born French, because that's a language I never could have learned.

Sweet land of liberty? Not any more! You lose your means of earning a living for words? This is not the USA.

"Land of the Free" and "Home of the Brave" are reduced to anachronistic, nostalgic phrases now.

Meaning what - she cut her hair?
Had an addadicktome procedure?

Ninth grade, for Pete's sake! Her parents are child abusers!
