some SJWs will defend this.

Quote:
The teacher reportedly told the kids “there is no such thing as girls and boys,” and “girls are not real and boys are not real.”

At home, the parents say, the little girl kept asking why her identity as a girl “wasn’t real,” wanted to go to a doctor to determine if she was a girl and said she wasn’t sure if she wanted to be a mommy.

That the subject was being drilled into their six-year-old caused concern, the family said.

But if an American teacher or school district this kind of thing is up to that school district or school to deal with. As a strong believer constitution and Libertarian its none of my business what other places do.

Sounds like Canada needs to start requiring teachers to take Biology classes as part of their certification.

Gawd, sometimes I’m embarrassed by some of my fellow educators and get why people think we are all stupid - this is one of the times.

There male and female. And some rare cases of hermaphrodites. But basically male and female.

If Janet wants to "identify" as Jan, the male, who cares. If Johnny now wants to identify as Joan, go for it. But don't tell us that there is gender or sex fluidity. Don't denigrate Jan and Joan for their choices, but don't tell us this is something normal.

Male. Female. Hermaphrodite. Period.

Do you have any evidence that "the facts are not necessarily as reported?" What's it like, depending on left-leaning news outlets so much that if something isn't printed in one of their rags, then it doesn't exist?

Just to add, the biochemical wiring of gender in a person's brain might not align with their physical gender.

But yes, there are two genders plus hermaphrodites.
