According to a report from TheBlaze, A letter from a Vermont school district to parents expressed a policy change to use “gender inclusive phrases” in place of words like “boy” and “girl” in a curriculum unit about human reproduction. The letter appeared on social media and went viral.
“It is time for our science/health unit about the human body focused on puberty and the human reproductive systems. This unit will take place during the last few months of school,” read the letter from Founders Memorial School Principal Sara Jablonski.
“In an effort to align our curriculum with our equity policy, teachers will be using gender-inclusive language throughout this unit. With any differences, we strive to use ‘person-first’ language as best practice,” she added.
The letter outlined some examples of the new politically correct language. “Person who produces sperm in place of boy, male, and assigned male at birth,” the letter explained. “Person who produces eggs in place of girl, female and assigned female at birth,” she added.
The letter said the curriculum was going to “focus on the physical and emotional changes that occur during puberty” and also introduce the “basic structure and function of human reproductive systems.” Many were extremely critical of the new policy and called on parents to pull their kids from schools and homeschool instead.
