A Vermont school district is no longer using the terms “male” and “female” when teaching sexual education classes, according to a letter obtained by Parents Defending Education (PDE), a parental rights organization.
Founders Memorial School Principal Sara Jablonski notified families on April 20 that teachers will no longer be using gender-specific words such as “male,” “female,” “boy” and “girl” when teaching fifth-grade health lessons that include puberty and the human reproductive system, according to a letter obtained by PDE. Instead, teachers will describe a man as a “person who produces sperm” and refer to a woman as “person who produces eggs.”
“The new language rules are dehumanizing but in the context of a 5th grade unit on puberty and reproduction, they also demonstrate a complete abdication of the school’s obligation to educate children about reality,” Erika Sanzi, director of outreach for PDE, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This is what an elementary school captured by gender ideology looks like.”
Teachers will be using “gender inclusive language” in an effort to align the school’s curriculum with Essex Westford School District’s equity policy, the letter stated. The most recent equity policy posted on the district’s website from the 2021-2022 school year requires that teachers are trained to have a “lens through which to assess their lessons for bias and representation.”
“In an effort to align our curriculum with our equity policy, teachers will be using gender inclusive language throughout this unit,” the letter stated. “With any differences, we strive to use ‘person-first’ language as best practice.”
School districts across the country are using “gender neutral” language in the name of equity; a Texas school district offered a “Women and Gender Studies” course which encouraged students to use “gender-neutral” language when describing jobs.
Essex Westford School District and Jablonski did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

Let’s see:
A. If persons who make sperm are male, and
B. Trans females make sperm, then it follows that
C. Trans females are male.
You can do the logic for persons who make eggs, females, and trans males.
Thank the Lord my sons moved out of Vermont years ago and their kids won’t have to deal with these insane people. They’re making it unbearable to live here anymore with their delusional policies. If my wife wasn’t buried here, I would have moved when I retired.
Perhaps the principle could comment on this video? What are the policies of Vermont Schools on this?

VERMONTERS, here’s your sign, Children are not safe in our state.
It’s time for a change in Montpelier, it’s long, long overdue.
This is making national news- and not in a good way.
Vermont has become an embarrassment for the good people that have normally functioning brains and understand what right and wrong is.
This is creating gender dysphoria in young children.
Recall back in the early 90s when they made school suck so bad that many rambunctious kids were chemically calmed down with Ritalin- many of those kids went on to become drug addicts and are now dead. They were taught that answers to life’s challenges come in the form of pills.
Today, Big Pharma has more money, power and control than entire nations do..
They are creating life long customers for body destroying drugs and it’s China that largely gains from this all..
Consider that what is going on here is simply creating a customer base for the products produced by Big Pharma.
They don’t want us to be healthy or mentally fit !!
This is why they banned Ivermectin.
Doctors were not allowed to tell people to simply take some zinc, vitamins C and D and that in and of itself would have done wonders for people during the Covid scam.
The schools- controlled by these evil teachers unions- are the willing lap dogs to carry this all out with one social experiment after another on our kids.
This is happening to create mental issues in kids.. so that they then require medical care which then puts you on their radar.
And if you deny your own kids this care- in some states now you can lose your own kids to the state.
If you have children, get the hell out of these states that are working diligently to destroy your family and your kids lives..
We are not in the midst of a mental health crisis and record numbers of deaths from drugs because things are going so well in America !!
Your child’s mental health is the most important thing- it’s more important than “Education”.
Move away from the areas where they are setting your kids of to fall..
Move away from places that are working to destroy your family.
These people are nuts and should be prohibited from teaching and getting anywhere near a kid? This crap is getting ridiculous. My daughter just had a kid, she isn’t letting him go anywhere near a public school.
How will the lesson go when they teach about chromosomes in biology class??
Doesn’t this issue make it obvious that the public policy of funding schooling institutions is a mistake? Such institutions can’t possibly satisfy such a diverse customer base. We are paying for institutions to do the impossible. Does a Soviet Bakery come to mind? Rather than being in the business of running schools our commitment to an educated public would better be served by releasing resources to families. Families are the appropriate educators of their kids. They will hire the teachers and buy the schooling services and curriculum they judge to be appropriate.
