Fight Florida's anti-LGBTQ+ changes

Have you ever watched Crystal Maze?

No what is that? I'm on a mission to find any and everything with Richard Ayoade right now! He's my weird celebrity crush lol. I love Travel Man and Gadget Man, but The It Crowd is my favorite!

Sure, but it's not the teachers responsibility to educate the entire class as to WHY it's wrong according to HER/HIS opinion. A simple, "We do not name call of any kind" would suffice.

Really? If you take that literally, you shouldn't use "boy", "girl", "adult", "child", basically anything that's descriptive.

It's a very bizarre British gameshow that he hosted (well, he hosted a few years of).

The Crystal Maze

You might need VPN to watch.

Actually it is. Saying more will likely get me points, so I’ll just say it was nicely explained above.

No, really. Think about it... "We do not name call of ANY kind." Those were your words. And according to you, the teacher can't say why anything is wrong. Since the teacher can't show any judgement on why 'x' is wrong but 'y' is right, what do you want them to do?

If those are used specifically in a derogatory way or to insult someone you are correct.
But I don’t think that is what you mean, and that’s a pretty disingenuous response in an attempt to argue what the pp said.

"We do not name call of ANY kind". Those are the words PP used. And said the teacher shouldn't be allowed to qualify WHY certain words are wrong. If you can't say why certain words are wrong, you can't say why certain words are right. You can't have it both ways.

I understand (I think) what goal PP was trying to get to. They don't want the teacher to tell their kids that 'x' is ok because the parents may think differently. The problem is when you start putting out blanket rules, you generally end up covering too much.

“We don’t call people those words because they are not nice.” In a K-3 classrooom, does anything else really need to be said?

I'm not the one who doesn't want teachers to say why some words are bad...

Human rights transcend politics, and this legislation was intended to intimidate and muzzle a large segment of society.

But since we can't seem to discuss it without arguing, debating and making it political, this discussion is closed.
