No More Distinguishing People. All The Same For Socialism

Socrates used the phrase "featherless bipeds" to describe humans. Isn't that better than "purple penguins? 

[From article]
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.

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.
“Point out and inquire when you hear others referencing gender in a binary manner,” it states. “Ask things like . . . ‘What makes you say that? I think of it a little differently.’ Provide counter-narratives that challenge students to think more expansively about their notions of gender.”

Why Democrats Vote As One

In Cambridge Diversity Means Uniformity

This is hilarious. In Cambridge MA, host city to Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Lesley University, residents believe they are superior to anyone who disagrees with them. Diverse opinions are not tolerated. The Cambridge School Committee approved eliminating special advance classes in the middle schools. Mindless zombie elitists demand everyone learn at the same speed. Duh! Are students encouraged to weigh more or less than others in the name of diversity too? Quick learners will be forced to waste time and alienated from the learning process. Slow learners will harass classmates because, "You're smart." One student noted they will be forced to help their slower classmates. It is one more example of how the beasts in Cambridge drag everyone down to their level. In this misguided elitist city residents are pressured to become as corrupt as the police and the politicians or they are attacked. In the name of diversity useful idiots make everyone the same. How charming to twist language to implement Communism where some are more equal and more diverse than others. Only Patti Nolan opposed this twisted corruption of the learning process.

“We need the diversity of our student body to be present at every level,” said Cambridgeport School English teacher Katie Gribben. “My classroom shows that a diverse student group can be incredibly successful.”

“We are trying to build something new in this city and we need everybody to come together,” Young said before the School Committee voted 6 - 1 to support Young’s Academic Challenge Policy, which eliminates “separate challenge programs,”
