Turn around on them for not using your pronouns and get 10 times more triggered. Put it back in their court.

BLM faded away.
CRT has largely faded away.
“Believe all women” faded away.
DEI is nearing the end of its cycle
Pronouns nonsense will be fading away, especially after awards like this one. Too bad it wasn’t $100 million to bankrupt that district and have Youngkin bring in a new hand-picked board.

The school board would have folded immediately if the teacher had been muslim.

I learned all pronouns 60 years ago. I have no intention of re-eduction.

French is LITERALLY a gendered language.

I am not so sure. I believe a lot of this overt Marxism has just gone covert. A re-labeling so to speak. Commies don’t give up this easily.

That’s because Marxism is a doctrine of satan.

Yes, that’s a common tactic. They rename things and continue moving ahead. They go quiet a while, regroup, explore new soft spots and advance.

They've made inroads and that won't change.

It's always two steps left, one step right, two steps left, one step right.

The left pushes as far as it can go. Then there's a "conservative" reaction and the left pulls back a bit. Conservatives pat themselves on the back, chortle about their victories, and are blind to how the left has permanently changed the culture.

This is why, despite all the conservative "victories" since Reagan, the culture has steadily moved leftward.

No, it’s too bad that the school board members did not have to pay this out of their personal finances.

Yes, even better. Don’t bankrupt the taxpayers. Bankrupt the assholes.

Would a school board have forced a Muslim to draw a picture of Mohammed? Of course not. But they think it’s perfectly fine to trample on the beliefs of Christians.

It’s good to see this settlement. Let’s hope it’s something we’ll see more of in the future.

CRT/DEI have just been renamed student/employee “wellness” or “well being” programs/groups.

For example, there is a group of marxist/maoist educators who aren’t going to give up on harming and dividing people as a means to increase their own sense of power and feed their own narcissism. (I’ll put the non-hot link just for reference: knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/is-dei-going-away-heres-what-experts-say/)

They have formed a group called RADS - “the Relationships Across Differences Roundtable (RADs), a coalition of more than 70 academics and industry leaders committed to advancing inclusivity in all its forms — race, gender, ethnicity, religion, ability, neurodiversity, and age.” Their goal? “DEI must be championed by the top level of management, and leaders must learn how to integrate DEI initiatives into the business so they become embedded in the mission, rather than additive.”

Jan Murray, founder and CEO of High Vibe Healing Collective, lets the catlady out of the bag, “we are societally conditioned to seek well-doing over well-being because that reinforces a sense of hierarchy and dominance, reflecting the values of white supremacy...”
(another not-hot link:mattinglysolutions.com/post/being-well-over-doing-well-3-ways-to-spread-wellness-at-work)

Knowing these so-called ‘academics’ are driven by a pathological need to conquer, to validate their ‘wokeness’ to each other by promoting hatred of American values, societal norms and the demonization of a specific race or ethnicity, our game is to refuse to play their game of shells.

Precisely! They play the long game, and it’s working.

Most Western languages have genders, not defined by genitalia but by historical language use. French — the teacher's subject — Spanish, Italian and Portuguese have two while German and Polish have three. Even Ukrainian, so in the headlines in the moment, has three genders, to include the neuter.

List of languages by type of grammatical genders

The idiocy of demanding changes to language gender constructions and submission to individual demands has been, for the most part, the idiocy of under-educated English speaking fools. The same fools who are demanding that "colonial" languages somehow be banned,

Sad for them, England was an empire and colonialist, and as such these English-only speakers are 'academic' fools. They'd better start learning, speaking and writing a language without genders.

He taught French...a language laden with male and female gender words.
He knows genders.

The twits demands were just wrong. Le ha ha!
