Teacher Who Says He Will Not Respect Transgender Students' Pronouns Placed on Leave

[Al Bundy's Eyes]

Hi Eten,

Yes I’ve seen that some people asked to be called they which I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing to be honest. I agree with Jordan Peterson about not being told how to speak. For me it’s he or she I'm afraid.

Comrade Sholmes, I hear and accept your point. Likewise, we can both agree with comrade Eten on this matter. Give it about five years, and a plan will come into effect to remove this capitalist dogma once and for all. All hail Big Brother! ( Got to rush, can't miss the two minute hate, but I'll be back straight after, assuming I've not been denounced)

Ok, I'm back, and (comrade Al Bundy's Eyes says, I love our leader, and his principles. Slavery is freedom, war is peace. All hail big brother!) the camps.

It is the great and patriotic duty of our nation state to announce the heroic death of Al Bundy, who died fighting for our nation and our leader. He died fighting heroically for our nation, etc etc.

Hi Herlock

All words are made up and English is a rich and dynamic language because it changes so quickly and often.

I think Zulock sounds quite mysterious.

But actually, I agree with you about that. I haven't liked the scan and sound of some of the suggested alternatives like Ms. I personally don't use titles much now, I just use the person's name. And what seems to be happening now is that 'they' and 'them' are becoming singular as well as plural, and often used instead of he or she, especially by younger people.

I like the language how it is. I’d have no issue calling someone ‘he’ or ‘she’ but I wouldn’t want to be told that I had to call someone zu or some such made up word.

You see, this is why Communism works. Everyone's "comrade" and the world's a better place. Just ask any North Koreans, you'll not hear a bad word said about it.

I'm not sure about communism or comrade particularly - but why do we need gender specific titles and pronouns? We don't. Just change the language and that part of the problem is solved.

Are we really obligated to ascertain how Mrs. Cross sees herself, or how she would prefer to be addressed? She herself, I do believe, would strongly argue that the preferences and belief system of the speaker should take precedence over those of the spoken-of.

First off, you'd have to establish if "Cross" is married, and if so, does "Cross" wish to known by Mrs or Ms, if any patriarchal prefix.

Ironically,I believe Jack the Ripper was being blackmailed due to his homosexuality.

Surely the students have, then, the right to address him as "Mrs. Cross".

Secondly, I'd look at whether the name Cross is they're legal name, an informal name by which they're commonly known or whether they're being deliberately deceptive. And whether they'd ever murdered a prostitute and claimed to discover the body. I doubt the last point though, at least I'd hope so, but it is America.

The teacher has been reinstated and a trial is to be scheduled.

A judge is supposed to rule shortly as to whether the teacher can be reinstated. A rally was held in support of the teacher. The case is getting a lot of attention here in the Washington, D.C. area. I will report on the judge's decision when it becomes known.

Not only does the "teacher" hold idiotic views, he is too idiotic to even try and mask these views for the sake of his job.

You'd think that anyone who is perfectly happy in their own skin would be eternally grateful, and feel sorry for all those less fortunate. And if they can't feel sympathy, all they need to do is mind their own sodding business.

I get so sick and tired of these fools. Is he entitled to his opinion and beliefs? Absolutely. But you have to pick your damn battles. No one is forcing him to become transgendered or even condone what others choose to do. It never seems to occur to these types hey I will simply bite the bullet on this one and let it slide and instead devote my energies to feeding and clothing the homeless. And if God is all powerful let him handle it. He surely doesn't need your help.
