This sounds as surreal as it gets, but unfortunately, this is the world we live in. Today’s news is about a school teacher who lost his job for the crime of “misgendering”. Yest, that’s a real word used by the politically correct social justice warriors nowadays. The crime, you asked? Well, this is a math teacher, 27 year old Joshua Sutcliffe, who made the fatal mistake of saying “well done girls” to a group of his pupils, after presumably they did good on a test or something. The problem is that among the group of girls was a special girl who identifies as a boy.
Now, for this heinous crime, Joshua Sutcliffe who teaches math at an Oxfordshire secondary school in oh so tolerant and multicultural England, found himself suspended. The school went a step further and humiliated him even more, by calling for a disciplinary hearing. Even if the poor math teacher apologized to the offended student after realizing his monstrous crime-think, it didn’t matter to the school board, as they charged him with misconduct for the made-up crime of misgendering, i.e. he called a girl, well, a girl. The problem with this modern insanity of gender fluidity is that you never know if a person you’re talking to “man to man” is identifying himself as an attack helicopter, a school girl, a ferret or who knows what and gets offended, and then, you know, there goes your career, right? Wrong.

It’s way past ridiculous.
They’ve gone to plaid....
You can self-identify as an attack helicopter? Wow, I want to be one.
These days if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a zebra or a python or a monkey or any thing other than a duck. Perhaps the teacher should refer to a student as “it” or Thing 1.
In a wonderful (private) school in our area we had a lady who worked in enrollment. She almost always referred to the students as “Buttercup” or “Sweetie Pie” or “Sweet Pea.”
One day a student objected to the term she used. She asked if he wanted half of a heart transplant.
He chose the term of endearment.
No more problems.
In Nam, when you first arrived, everyone was
Sam(Sorry Ass Mother-—ker)!
In Vietnam, sometimes I was Number 1, sometimes number 10. Depended on the size of the tip.
Well worth $50k if it kept you from hiring the witch.
Incidentally, the math teacher moonshines as a Christian pastor at the Christ Revelation church in Oxford in his spare time, and that definitely did not help him with the school board verdict.
Gee, it used to be just white males that were the villains to the LEFT, now it is Christians and Jews I guess!
Ima ‘bout ready to self-identify as a disabled 67 year old and start collecting social security and disability.
i have for a couple years now... specifically AH1Z
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
For a second I misread the headline as caned. Pretty harsh, that! But I suppose canned is bad, too.
At some point, society is going to have to “put its foot down” against the insanity brought on by the mental disease caused by liberalism. IF it doesn’t, society will be destroyed by it.
Everything liberalism touches is destroyed....everything.
It’s the BORG of this century and needs to be addressed in a BIG way.
