It’s almost impossible to keep up with this utter shite. Today, we have news about “tree” pronouns and “furries” barking and biting in schools. You know what they are not writing about? Phonics and literacy. Y’all may think I am myopic about this, but giving your kid the keys to the kingdom is found in literacy. In my opinion, (Mrs. Williams, YOU are not an EDUCATOR.) those keys are found in learning PHONICS. We shovel tons of money into government schools and we get furries. And, illiterate young people.

It’s hard work to teach. Teaching tenses and subject-verb agreement is essential to understanding language, but it requires thought and planning. Arithmetic, not my area of expertise, requires the same. How much easier it would be to allow those young, impressionable minds to search their inner selves for their innermost pronouns. He, Him, She, Her, Ze, Zir or Tree. From Fox News Channel:

A Michigan elementary school district is doubling down on a lesson for students about using novel gender pronouns, including the phrase “tree,” with the superintendent saying it promoted “inclusivity.”

Schavey Road Elementary School, in DeWitt, Mich., sent out a letter on April 11 informing parents of the school’s plans to “help students share and explore pronouns” in a lesson using the book “They She He Me: Free to Be!” by Maya Gonzalez, which includes cartoon pictures of men and women using interchangeable pronouns. The letter also states parents are able to opt their children out of the curriculum.

“We would like to inform you of a lesson that will be taught in your child’s classroom,” the April 11 letter said. “The lesson goals are to help students share and explore pronouns through discussion and literature to embrace differences and promote acceptance.”

“On the inside, you may not feel like a he or she at all,” the book states. “Maybe they feels most free or you may feel like both she and he.”

Children are taught they can “claim” their pronouns outside “he and she” by creating the way they want to be addressed.

“You can use your own name as a pronoun,” the book says. “You can change pronouns from he to she or she to he. You can use new ones like ze or create your own like tree! Some people use they, which is a perfect way. There are many more pronouns waiting to be discovered and used.”

I am a huge fan of imagination. Spending time laying under a tree and finding cloud pictures provides enormous “scope for the imagination”.

If the young people can’t communicate these great flights of imagination, what’s the point?

…tree pronoun?

What even is that?

Even more outlandish and anti-education is the problem of “furries” at a Utah School:

The school says furries aren’t a thing and this whole thing is an internet rumor. Well, I could believe that, right. I know middle schoolers spread rumors like softened butter:

Dozens of Utah middle schoolers and their parents staged a walkout Wednesday to protest their district allowing so-called student furries to “bite,” “bark” at and “pounce on” their peers — a deranged accusation the schools said is nothing more than a wild rumor.

“They have their little tails, they get down on their hands and knees and they bark at us,” one student at the protest told Conservative radio host Adam Bartholomew in a video that has been viewed almost 27,000 times.

Another alleged that the young furries spray “human repellant” at other students and claimed that those who complain about the animalistic behavior get suspended.

Before the protest, there was a petition titled “Students for Humans at School”. That seems like a reasonable request for Mt. Nebo Middle School who supported the furries at school. Here’s more:

The letter reportedly supported students wearing certain accessories, such as headbands with animal ears, in the classroom — a message that district spokesperson Seth Sorenson said was widely misinterpreted.

The strange saga began several weeks ago when a group of students cornered another group in the lunchroom and threw food at them “because of the way they were dressed in the school,” Sorenson told The Post.

The kids were wearing headbands with ears on them, the district spokesperson said, but emphasized it was nothing out of the ordinary.

“These are 11- and 12-year-old kids and so sometimes they may wear a headband like that, sometimes the headband may have a giant bow, sometimes they’ll come dressed as their favorite sports hero,” he said. “It was nothing like what has been portrayed out there.”

School administrators intervened and then sent a message to students and parents reminding them to honor their slogan, which is — ironically — ROAR: Respect, Outstanding, Academic and Responsible.

There are no furries at school:

These middle school students know exactly what the 411 is. The Administration may be clueless, but the kids so it’s for the coolness factor and for attention:

Students walked out of Nebo School District in Utah to protest the school for allowing "furries" to t*rrorize other students.

Letting kids use a litter box is a lot easier than subject-verb agreement. Ignorant and illiterate children are easier to rule. Get your kids out of government schools.
