In postmodernism's greatest triumph to date, "he/she" has passed "ze/zer" & become "purple penguins." http://t.co/h3mabNpSDA @KCTimpf

National Review Online: 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 documentgiven 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.
It gets worse.
If teachers still find it “necessary” to mention that genders exist at all, the document states, they must list them as “boy, girl, both or neither.”
Furthermore, it instructs teachers to interfere and interrupt if they ever hear a student talking about gender in terms of “boys and girls” so the student can learn that this is wrong.
@HeyTammyBruce I hope some parent complains that the name is cruel to penguins.

@HeyTammyBruce can't call them children either, world gone mad. How did we become such pansies? Where are the John Wayne's of the world?

Calling kids purple penguins instead boys and girls. I think I've officially seen every dumb leftist idea ever.
