But Franklin will start a new tradition this year, one in which transgender students and others who dont fit the typical male and female roles wont have to pick a side.

Like there is a large group of such freaks. How stupid this is.

I’m with you on this. Way back when, my class all wore robes that were identical and proceeded one-by-one in alphabetical order.
I’ve never even heard of some weird boy-girl graduation thing before this.
Is this some local tradition? I’ve never even attended a graduation like that as a guest. I thought they were all unisex and alphabetical.
You are correct. Oklahoma is based on the Choctaw Indian words which translate as red people (okla meaning “people” and humma meaning “red”).
Political correctness pushes to change the traditions of a high school graduation and the name of a football team. Yet the state’s name came from the Indian words given by Allen Wright, a Choctaw chief, during treaty negotiations.
It is the way the politically correct mob operates that is most infuriating. They do not consider the history or the realities in making their policy impositions on the rest of us. They are totally off the rails and will be after the State of Oklahoma or any other stupid cause if we let them. For them it is ideology disconnected from reality. It is feelings and perceptions which are created to manipulate others for their own self-serving purposes.
It is about time that the entire political correctness scam gets thrown into the ash can of history. They could care less about our freedoms and traditions.
About the time the Redskins controversy was raging, I saw an article about a Navajo high school team named the Redskins, and they had NO intention of changing it. I’ve always thought that natives most offended by things like that are typically the ones most under the influence of leftist white culture.

The Native American Indians I know are pretty thick-skinned folks who don’t get worked up about that sort of thing.
Might as well just cancel the ceremony and mail out the diplomas.
