Colorado students are demanding a first-rate education that emphasizes computer and math knowledge, stronger communications skills, and classical history lessons so the worst of it does not repeat itself.
Just kidding!
They are insisting legislators pass a state law to punish teachers who call them by their legal names or refuse to use grammatically incorrect but fashionable pronouns.
Crooks and violent thugs go unpunished, but woe to those who refuse to cater to over-indulged children taught to be intolerant and discriminate based on identities both real and over-exaggerated and to worship progressive Democrat Party politics.
The Colorado Sun reports a committee of state lawmakers has approved a draft bill they think will clear up any confusion as to what school districts must do when a student makes up their own name and pronoun.
The draft legislation approved by a legislative committee that hears ideas from the Colorado Youth Advisory Council would require public schools to use a student’s preferred name and would deem a refusal to do so a form of discrimination. It also would set up a task force of school administrators, teachers and counselors who would look into the best way to notify parents about a student’s wishes, and the process to update a student’s name for use in the classroom, extracurricular activities and the yearbook.
A 17-year-old student told legislators that students would decide whether teachers really meant to call kids by their fashionable pronoun or whether it was a civil rights violation and whether the teacher should be punished.
Then she/he/xe resorted to emotional blackmail claiming 82% of transgender people consider suicide but change their mind when called a different name and pronoun.
It reminds us of the brainwashed children in the movie The Killing Fields and the Khmer Rouge atrocities after the U.S. pulled out of the Vietnam War.
Which is a good reminder why teachers should be more focused on a traditional rather than fashionable education that churns out functionally illiterate young adults.
Parents should also watch The Killing Fields, which is based on a true story, but when their children aren’t around to get any ideas from it.
