Is it just my kid or is this the new culture now?

I feel older son is very confused, or he is just going with the norm. All of a sudden seems half of his Sophmore classmates are non binary and they are so sensitive I can’t say one thing without being called a homophobic or a racist.

Last year my granddaughter who was in 5th grade said "she" when referring to another kid in her class. Her teacher then scolded her in front of the whole class and told her to refer to the child as "them/they". My granddaughter was really upset that her teacher was angry with her and made her feel bad. Innocent mistake, what the hell???

@BeJeweled Say there's like 25-30 kids in the class and they all have different genders, how do the kids, let alone the teacher in each different class, keep them all properly defined?

@pdockal Teacher will be fired! Schools are sued left and right now for not respecting parents rights for not wanting teachers to discuss sexual matters in class.

@Carazaa Yep, let's just let the kids play doctor and figure it out on their own, wonderful plan, we'll soon see a significant rise in teen pregnancies but that's probably what those wonderful parents want... Like Lowrent Boozeburp, to proudly become grandparents at 36, good job!
@BeJeweled If you meet someone named Robert, and you call him Bobby, and he tells you that he prefers to be called Rob, is it rude if you keep calling him Bobby anyway?

@LeopoldBloom We can't require people to call us anything. If you call me chump, or Dick or Jane what does it matter, it is your choice. If we start getting mad at people for calling us Bobby then we have mental issues! That teacher has mental issues!

@spjennifer Some people are confused! Teachers can't be teaching against the parents will that there are more than 2 genders if a parent says there are only 2 genders in sex education class. Some parents believe that all people have been created by God to be a girl or a boy and if the teacher believes differently then the teacher has a mental disorder called gender dysphoria. Some parents do not want teachers to confuse kids.

@Carazaa Then those parents should be sending their kids to private religious schools where they can control the curriculum and what is taught to their kids. Publicly funded schools should NOT be influenced by religiosity, same as our Government shouldn't be. We are a Secular Nation that isn't guided nor ruled by dogma and any publicly funded institution must be the same.

@spjennifer No they have paid taxes for public schools and have rights too!!!!!!
spjennifer · 61-69, T
@Carazaa We all pay taxes, this doesn't always mean we get to dictate how those monies are spent nor what happens in institutions funded by those taxes, that's why it's called a 'Democracy". Sure they have Rights, same as the rest of us do and majority rules... Just like I disagree with Churches not paying taxes but I don't get to decide...

@spjennifer Don't mess and lie to our kids! There are lawsuits right now because some teachers are teaching lies to kids in schools!
Carazaa · F
@spjennifer People care about their kids and are willing to sue schools who teach there are more than 2 genders!
spjennifer · 61-69, T
@Carazaa Exactly, people do care about their kids and many don't want them unduly influenced by bigoted religiosity too, perhaps some parents should start suing the Churches trying to exert their bigoted influence on all of them too, no?

@spjennifer
Churches sometimes care more about people's feelings, and their money, than God's feelings and God's Holy word! There are also people who care more about themselves nowadays than God! And some parents even care more about their kids than about God.

@Carazaa
And some parents even care more about their kids than about God.

I hope all parents care more about their kids than about God otherwise we have cases of religious nuts refusing life saving medical treatment for their diying kids cause "God doesn't like blood transfusions"

@Gloomy Be aware that God can take away anything we care more about than him. If we care more about our house, health, job, mate, money, our kids, that is adultery, God deserve to be worshiped! If we love God more than anything we will be content, and he will add everything to us. "First consider the kingdom of God and his righteousness and then everything will be added unto you" This is a fact of life! God gives us doctors so it is ok to treat our kids if they have a disease.
@pdockal Me too. You are right. This world is nuts. I've never heard such nonsense in my life. We never had that problem even a few years ago. It's just plain stupid.
spjennifer · 61-69, T
@Carazaa So parents should worship some imaginary sky daddy instead of looking after their own children first, good job! Please explain then how your imaginary sky daddy protects the young innocent children who die before even being able to speak, read or write and therefor have committed no sin?

@LadyGrace

Unfortunately we're catering to the groups that are the loudest and throw temper tantrums
But the adults are too blame because many didn't raise the children to understand their are consequences to their actions
@Carazaa It's generally considered impolite to call someone by the wrong name after they've asked you to use the name they prefer. Of course, you're entitled to be as rude as you want, but don't expect people to respect or praise you for it.
Carazaa · F
@LeopoldBloom We should never demand things from others, it is just not good manners. I would never be upset if someone calls me a nick name of some kind or find it easier to call me by their prefer nickname for me like blondie, viking, Sam or Sally what in the world does it matter. I know who I am and what others think of me is their business. It is just a sign of controlling behavior to demand anything from someone else.

@spjennifer ❤️ Babies haven't sinned? We have to remember that God is a loving and a just God 🙂! We don't know who will go to heaven and who won't. But we are all genetically sinful from ADAM"All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God" If a baby died young we will probably see that person in heaven. God answers prayers.
@Carazaa Just because you don't care if someone calls you the wrong name, doesn't mean everyone else should conform to that. I stand by my original statement that it's rude to call someone something after they've asked you not to. If you don't mind when people are rude to you, that's great, but they're still being rude.

@Carazaa Ok dude

@Carazaa Sorry to tell you but there is no gawd or heaven or hell, when you die, you just die, fade to black, there is no light at the end of the tunnel nor saint peter at the pearly gates. I've died twice from being shot and been resuscitated thanks to science and available technology so I know, been there, done that.
