[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should Civics be allowed to teach about the Governor election? 
I’m okay with it, but I’m not okay when my DD thinks “if Younkin wins kids will not be allowed to be called by their pronouns at school” 
Youngkin is fine with pronouns so why is the teacher not saying anything when a student said that ?

No, he's not ok with non-binary pronouns and has said as much.[/quote]

Oh whatever.  :roll: I'm not going to use made up fake pronouns and teachers shouldn't be forced to, either. [/quote]

So if a child goes by a nickname and asks you to call them by that, will you also refuse because it’s “made up”?[/quote]

Maybe.  But I would also expect the child to answer to their given name if it is used.  If little Bobby gets called Robert when taking attendance, I expect them to answer.[/quote]

I know plenty of kids who end up going by their middle name and then do not respond whatsoever to their first name. It’s like they don’t even identify with that person, yet you would still force that on the child? Very strange authoritarian and overly militant view.[/quote]

4 of my kids use their middle name instead of their first name.  They ALL respond to their first name.  It would be really weird of them to ignore it.  I don't know what kind of people you know but they don't sound very mature if they will ignore one of their known names.[/quote]
