Yesterday, The National Review reported on a document produced by a group called Gender Spectrum providing teachers with suggestions on how to create gender inclusive classrooms. Among the suggestions was that rather than separating the boys into one line and the girl into another, teachers could come up with gender-neutral ways of breaking up the class, such as separating by birthdays.
Another suggestion was for teachers to avoid using phrases like “boys and girls” and instead have the students come up with a class nickname and then use that nickname for calling the class together. The example the document provided was “purple penguins,” so that the teacher could then, for example, call out for all the purple penguins to meet on the rug for reading time.
Predictably, Glenn Beck pretty much lost his mind on his radio show today over this, saying that he is going to start printing out these sorts of stories and sealing them up in a box that he can bury in the side of a mountain so that future generations can see just how deranged our society has become.
“Five thousand years from now,” Beck ranted, “they will dig on the side of a mountain and they will find a big thing marked ‘Glenn Beck’s Sanity Box – what drove him insane is all in this box; open at your own peril.'”
Upon reading these stories, future generations will ask “what the hell were they thinking” and then they will find a message, Beck said, “probably scrawled in my own urine and poop” informing them that at least some of those living today realized the world had gone utterly insane, but nobody would listen to them.
Naturally, Beck then explained that all of this is rooted in a failure to acknowledge the existence of God, warning that when there is no Creator and society can decide its own rules, “this is what leads to mass genocide, every time!”
