The film was an environmental film (owned by the school district) produced by obvious environmental wackos. This film featured footage of a bird's nest on the ground with live chicks being set on fire, then being plowed under by a tractor. In another scene wolves were being hunted by snomobilers with guns. One wolf was shot, then the snowmobiler walks up to it and shoots it in the neck as it is convulsing on the ground, with a pool of bloody snow spreading underneath it. (yes, this was all real footage)
The short story was a fictional story praising androgeny as superior to having gender roles. A new kid shows up in school, and no one knows whether the kid is a boy or girl. The kids and teachers keep trying to trick the kid into revealing its gender, but it never does. Finally, a psychiatrist is brought in, because they assume the kid is insane. The psychiatrist examines the kid for hours. When the psychiatrist ends his examination, everyone wants to know what gender the kid is, but the psychiatrist proclaims that he doesn't know. However, he does say that he found the kid to be the healthiest child he has ever examined, precicely because of the kid's androgeny.
Are you sure that wasn't SNL, "It's PAT"????
