I'll side with Fox on this one.Why am I not surprised this article was originally published on FOX News?
I think it's cute. And I think it's progressive. I also think that it is probably unnecessary, and that FOX News is making far more of a hullabaloo about it than is warranted, showing again its colors of intolerance and general jerkishness.
Implanting animal labels on human children because the traditional gender identities are thought to be intolerable isn't progressive. It's deviant. And smacks of a predisposition to zoophilia.
That statement is a lie. Feel free to challenge the document this is referring to (I think it goes too far personally) but you lose all credit when you make stuff up to blindly attack it (or, even worse, get tricked in to repeating the lie by trashy tabloid media).What's a "Purple Penguin"?The gender inclusive name for boys & girls in Nebraska public schools
That would be "ageism" because it stresses the difference between them & the teachers.We could call them "children" instead of "purple penguins."
I know, it's a crazy suggestion.

Perhaps "humans" is the only acceptable term.
Are you nuts? How intolerant of you. BIGOT!We could call them "children" instead of "purple penguins."

I actually considered that. So some day when hyper-intelligent ape-like creaturesYou human supremacist.
Obviously, your backwards view is wrong.I still don't understand. Nothing about being male or female is shameful. Various genders will have a better chance of having equality if we are allowed to have them.
This "purple penguin" sort of thing doesn't promote sexual equality, it just covers it up and pretends genders don't even exist. That's the way I see it.

It's extremist buffoonery being demonstrated in the reported Nebraska school system.
Transgender children want to be accepted as the sex they feel they are inside. A boy who feels like he's a girl wants to be addressed and seen as that which identifies them by the proper pronoun. "She", "her", etc...
This recommendation in the school devalues that and actually makes mockery of those children and their struggles. Presuming to dismiss the pronoun usage and replace it with something as inane as animal labels is either a bad joke, or an indicator of a predisposition to depraved indifference to child welfare with a predilection toward emotional abuse of children in general.
Overreact much?
I have many friends and family members who are elementary or middle school teachers. I actually don't think it's common usage to call kids out by "boys or girls" these days. If they're communicating with groups of students, teachers tend to call them "kids" or "students".
I'm not sure how I feel about the Purple Penguin pamphlet, need to give it more thought. But, I most definitely wouldn't overreact by saying this particular gender inclusiveness format smacks of a "predisposition to zoophilia."
It might even be damaging in its avoidance of gender issues.I agree. If this is about transgender, then maybe they should start having some subjects on it put in the curriculum. Education is the key to teaching about things.
I still think the purple penguin stuff is unnecessary.
Absolutely. I'll let the teachers and school districts decide age appropriate curriculum. Hopefully, parents are involved and have a say as well.I agree.

I feel as though I don't know the whole story behind this pamphlet. I think it's quite possible (duh) it was used to start a fire....this motive works wonders these days.I still think the purple penguin stuff is unnecessary.
