From the Left-Wing theater of the Absurd

Left-wing loons shamelessly pandering to an incredibly small percentage of the population, this is beyond stupid.

School Told to Call Kids ‘Purple Penguins’ Because ‘Boys and Girls’ Is Not Inclusive to Transgender

A Nebraska school district has instructed its teachers to stop referring to students by “gendered expressions” such as “boys and girls,” and use “gender inclusive” ones such as “purple penguins” instead.
“Don’t use phrases such as ‘boys and girls,’ ‘you guys,’ ‘ladies and gentlemen,’ and similarly gendered expressions to get kids’ attention,” instructs a training document given to middle-school teachers at the Lincoln Public Schools.
“Create classroom names and then ask all of the ‘purple penguins’ to meet on the rug,” it advises.
The document also warns against asking students to “line up as boys or girls,” and suggests asking them to line up by whether they prefer “skateboards or bikes/milk or juice/dogs or cats/summer or winter/talking or listening.”
“Always ask yourself . . . ‘Will this configuration create a gendered space?’” the document says.~snip~

And as always the superintendent pompously sits there and tells parents basically,"who cares what you think?" and then tries to claim they don't get involved in politics or gender.Like denying it makes it rue.
You know it's way past time to demand that schools simply get back to teaching reading,writing and math. It hasn't happened in so long I don't think they know how any more.
The only answer is to wrest control of schools away from the federal government, who are joined at the hip with teachers unions and the democrat party, and giving control back to the local school districts.
Until then the none stop indoctrination of our children will continue.

Grand Island Preschooler Asked to Change the Sign for His Name in School

Hunter Spanjer says his name with a certain special hand gesture, but at just three and a half years old, he may have to change it.
"He's deaf, and his name sign, they say, is a violation of their weapons policy," explained Hunter's father, Brian Spanjer.
Grand Island's "Weapons in Schools" Board Policy 8470 forbids "any instrument...that looks like a weapon," But a three year-old's hands?
"Anybody that I have talked to thinks this is absolutely ridiculous. This is not threatening in any way," said Hunter's grandmother Janet Logue.
"It's a symbol. It's an actual sign, a registered sign, through S.E.E.," Brian Spanjer said.
S.E.E. stands for Signing Exact English, Hunter's sign language. Hunter's name gesture is modified with crossed-fingers to show it is uniquely his own.
"We are working with the parents to come to the best solution we can for the child," said Jack Sheard, Grand Island Public Schools spokesperson.
That's just about all GIPS officials will say for now.
Meantime, Hunter's parents say that by Monday, lawyers from the National Association of the Deaf are likely to weigh in for Hunter's right to sign his own name.~snip~

Yup that's right, the idiot anti-gun zealotry has extended all the way to how a little deaf child signs his name. This is even dumber than the pop-tart gun.
The whole issue has has nothing to do with school safety as much as it has to do with control.
The liberals in government intend to control every facet of everyones lives starting with your children. They are trying to control how they play, how they act what they believe and even how they perceive their sexuality in order to groom them into becoming good little socialist drones.

The only way this kind of over the top indoctrination is going to stop is for communities to wrest control of their schools and children from the radically union owner federal government and place it back into the hands of local school boards where locally elected members can regain control of the schools.
