Thread: Just gone to damn far.

I agree. I mean, I'm all about equal rights, but there are more...productive ways to go about it.

Those poor kids.......

These people are seriously fucked in the head.Thank God they are only being allowed to do this bs for the year of Kindergarten. I bet even the kids think it's bullshit. They know they are boys and girls, why are these silly adults soo freaking concerned about it?

Lego bricks and other building blocks are intentionally placed next to the kitchen, to make sure the children draw no mental barriers between cooking and construction.

LO freaking L.

Thank God it's Sweden with this bs.....not my money going to fund crap like this.

What are they doing about the bathrooms? Are they joint as well? I sure there is a lot of pee on the seats. What is this teaching the kids (esp the male kids) at this young age?

Propose that the bathrooms be unisex then so there's no stereotyping going on there. Oh wait, you mean males and females have different parts that have to use different facilities? Thats it, bring in the school plastic surgeon....

Well, we know who would be having shit cut off......

...seriously....these people are ashamed of penises for some reason. Notice they were worried about little Billy drawing barriers between cooking and construction....they could give two shits as to where little Jenny draws hers. Unless of course she were to sit at the little secretaries desk, or God forbid she pretends to cook something...then she would be pushed to "explore her options"....can't have any of that other shit....oh noooooo.

From the article:

Egalia doesn't deny the biological differences between boys and girls – the dolls the children play with are anatomically correct.

What matters is that children understand that their biological differences "don't mean boys and girls have different interests and abilities," Rajalin says. "This is about democracy. About human equality."

What's the big deal with this place? It's 33 infants and preschoolers. I'm confident that no matter what happens these kids will have plenty of time to discover and embrace gender roles. Does anyone really think that when those boys turn 14 they're somehow not going to turn into hound dogs just because they occasionally played with a doll when they were 3?

Anyway, isn't this exactly the sort of experimenting and innovation that school reformers and charter school promoters are always going on about (*)? The article says that there's a waiting list to get in. Shouldn't we trust the parents? I'm not sure I'd want my (as yet non-existent) kids to go there, but if the teachers were good then I wouldn't care if my kid was under-exposed to a few pronouns for 6 hours a day.

The Swedes have been doing stuff like this for decades. Their hockey teams still kick ass, and their women are schmokin' hot. What more evidence do you need? Shit, if any of you win a round-trip ticket to Sweden then I'll be happy to take it. I'll even send you pix of the women who refer to me with a non-gender-specific pronoun while we screw each other's brains out.

Cheers,

* - Actually, I'm pretty sure this is exactly the opposite of what most school reformers and charter school promoters have in mind for their schools - but that's a different story.


Edit: I tried to get a "G.I. Sven" joke in there, but it wasn't workin'.

Thank god for strap-ons! The way this is heading, that may be the only toy in the 'box'.
