Preferred Pronouns and More: What I Saw at Teachers Union Convention
California Globe ^ | July 25, 2022 | Brenda Lebsack

Posted on 07/25/2022 7:38:05 AM PDT by artichokegrower

As a teacher, I attended the National Education Association convention last week, and my worst fears were confirmed.

Public schools are no longer a safe place for families who hold traditional values or for families who believe gender (as in male/female binary) is biologically determined.

It was also evident that the teachers union is a lobbying arm of the Democratic Party.

Nearly half of the motions dealt with identity politics, social justice, and ways to promote the goals of the Democratic Party.


Big surprise.

Oddly enough, those people seem to have all the power.

Has our side ever been able to “cancel” anyone on their side?
Has any corporation been successful at instilling traditional, conservative values, and chased “non-traditional” employees to the curb?

We don’t seem to have anyway to fight back.
But the Left pushes and pushes and pushes.

Yeah, big surprise. Even more surprising, the other half of motions dealt with paying teachers more money.

The author cracked me up with this bon mot: "I was tempted to state my 'preferred' pronouns as 'Com, U, and Nism,' but I resisted the urge to do so."

The subject of preferred pronouns is baffling to me.

I have encountered some people in the business world, who have indicated what their preferred pronouns are.

In every single case, bar none, the preferred pronouns correspond to what you would have thought, based on your perception of the sex of that person. In every single case I’ve been involved with, every woman has indicated her pronouns are the traditional female pronouns, and every man has indicated he uses the traditional male pronouns.

And this makes me wonder, just how many “transgender” or uncertain gendered persons are there, that some feel compelled to play along with the gender pronoun business.

My preferred pronouns are "Let's, Go and Brandon".

Does anything think you are going to “vote them out?”

As long as they have the power of printed, fiat money and massive government debt and spending, the parasites will thrive.

If I were in the business world I wouldn't do any business with people who tell me what their preferred "pronouns" are. They're either too stupid to figure out what a pronoun is or easily swayed by nonsensical ideas which in my mind makes them completely untrustworthy.

We have ways. But most of us on the right don’t have the guts to fight back.

Cause they sue on frivolous grounds. Life is too short to fight them. That is why we need a great pullback.

Pull away from any woke ideological product. Make or do your own stuff as best as possible. Start home school or homeschool groups, hiring non woke certified teachers to assist. Laws that get rid of city and county taxes for education. Tax write offs for private schools....etc. Not hiring anyone from woke college or university.

My correct pronouns are “he” or “him” and I’d prefer you not call me an Auburn fan. LOL

The Grinch attempted to end Christmas but to his surprise the Who villagers were just as happy as ever..because they had true love in their hearts for their family and neighbors.
And they didn’t buy into the commie grinches woke nonsense..

In real life this would have made the Grinch so mad he would have went on a genocidal rampage.
