Vermont school removes ‘male,’ ‘female’ terms from reproductive system lessons

A Vermont elementary school says it will no longer use the words “male” or “female” when teaching fifth-grade students about puberty and human reproductive systems.

Families of students at Founders Memorial School received a letter on April 20 informing them of the changes to the science and health curriculum.

Instead of referring to a person as a “boy” or “male,” teachers will say “person who produces sperm.” Likewise, they will no longer say “girl” or “female” but “person who produces eggs.”

Caroline Moore, the vice president of Parents Defending Education, blasted the change in a statement to The Post Wednesday afternoon.

“This manipulation of elementary anatomy and physiology is a bridge too far and a precursor to what we will see everywhere if the proposed changes to Title IX go into effect,” Moore said.

“A boy is a boy and a girl is a girl. We all know this. So why are we pretending we don’t? This is the primary way to differentiate human beings at birth, not “assigned” like a class project. You cannot politically correct yourself out of this.”

The letter received mixed reactions on Twitter, with some users comparing the practice to Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel “Brave New World” while others called for students to be pulled from public schools.

“Absurd. A person who produces sperm is, by definition, a male. A person who produces eggs is, by definition, a female,” one Twitter user wrote. “And sex is not ‘assigned’ at birth, it’s observed at birth. How exhausting all this nonsense is.”

I don’t understand what is behind this insanity. What’s the end goal with this lunacy?

I wouldn’t last long in school. I was annoying teachers in the 70s when they said stupid stuff — the situation today is beyond belief and I would be in endless trouble. I just don’t handle BS well.

Even though you used the word “man” in a non-biological meaning, is that still ok with these people?

Totally bonkers. But, parents keep sending their children to these schools, so there’s not much we can do.

We will now call one set of them the convex creatures, and the other set of them the concave creatures, and all the tweeners will be called totally flat creatures.

Sounds like Principal Sara Jablonski, who may well be a “person who produces eggs.”, is also a “person who LAID A VERY BIG EGG.”

I suspect that Mizz Sara Jablonski, is in for a HELLUVA ROUGH RIDE from parents and ALSO school board trustees!

I think the end goal is the same as the entire leftist agenda - bring America to it’s knees, through perverting everything that is good and true.

Now why do they want to do this? They believe America was founded and is run by evil men, who, if left unchecked, will destroy the planet.

Now why do they think this? Because they have been indoctrinated by a small cabal that wants to see humanity reduced by 90%.

Now why does this cabal want to do this, and who are they?
This is where it get’s religious. As Tucker said, it’s good vs evil. There are Fallen Angels who rebelled and have taken human birth. They had much power. They believe humanity will strip them of their current power. So it’s a power struggle. Who will win? Stay tuned.

On some issues, the Liberals lecture us that we need to follow the science.

We are told that we are ignoring the science, or misunderstanding the science, or contradicting the science ,on global warming.

With all this LGBT and gender identity business , they are clearly ignoring the science.

I know we are not biologists, so we may be confused about things. But there are certain scientific facts, such as the female has ovaries and produces egg cells. The male has testicles and produces sperm.

I’m still understanding how people get assigned a sex at Birth. They make it sound like an arbitrary decision is made when a baby is born as to what the sex of that baby is. I’m not a biologist, so maybe I am misinformed,but I know what they do to determine the sex of a baby. And it is not an arbitrary process.

“How exhausting all this nonsense is.”

The best phrase I’ve read in a long time.

The goal is to beat you down with bullshit until you become a compliant sheep.
