A new “Endangered Species” has evolved from the youngest of the finalists in the evolutionary pre-selected generation of the leaders of “Next Tuesday.”
“Purple Penguins” are currently found only in Nebraska but with a “rigorous and closely monitored” education campaign, we will be able to “populate” almost every part of the nation.
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.
The instructions were part of a list called “12 steps on the way to gender inclusiveness” developed by Gender Spectrum, an organization that “provides education, training and support to help create a gender sensitive and inclusive environment for children of all ages.”
Other items on the list include asking all students about their preferred pronouns and decorating the classroom with “all genders welcome” door hangers.
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.
There’s something about “penguins” that the media and education like so much. Is it the ultimate collectivist uniformity of a crowd of penguins that makes these cute but slow, flightless birds a desirable role model for the Utopian future?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all humans would be just one big crowd of sexually “indistinguishable” lookalikes?
Don’t address them as boy and girls… call them purple penguins
