The New Gender-Inclusive Schools

The New Gender-Inclusive Schools (Source thetrumpet.com) Personal pronouns are headed for the trash pile. A Lincoln, Nebraska, middle school advised its teachers at the beginning of the fall semester to use gender-inclusive expressions. Teachers are to veer away from gendered expressions, such as “boys and girls,” “guys,” or even “ladies and gentlemen.” They are instead encouraged to embrace less sexually-orientated terms, such as campers, athletes, readers or even “purple penguins.” The middle school teachers were each given a 12-step handout to help them become more gender-inclusive.  Points in the handout call for the teacher to question students if they reference gender in a binary manner. “What makes you say that? I think of it differently,” is one way they are to challenge the students in order to train them to be more gender unidentifying. Trumpet columnist Joel Hilliker wrote: An effort is gaining ground to create a world where not just ‘sexual orientation,’ but sex itself, is a choice. Where boys can be girls and girls can be boys, or something in between. Where people are expected to ignore the biological reality of sex so that all people coexist androgynously, or according to whatever gender suits them at the moment. Where everyone pretends that gender confusion is normal, if not desirable, and anyone who doesn’t play along can be punished and silenced. Joel Hilliker continued: “Our society has transformed into an immoral ‘do your own thing’ world that tolerates and accepts anything and everything. It is just as it was in Israel during the cursed and bloody period of the judges, when ‘every man did that which was right IN HIS OWN EYES’ (Judges 17:6; 21:25). People pompously promote and push a way of life that ignores, insults, challenges and defies God in so many ways.”
