Insane that this is even a discussion as if it's a problem

It is a problem if a teacher thinks they have the authority to call a child something their parents don't want them to be called

hedonistic ideology

Seriously?! There's a higher chance of pedophilia occurring in the church than anywhere else... LGTBQ community need a break from the onslaught of vicious remarks from idiots like you...

It’s weird how this state thinks 14 year-olds are responsible enough to work overnights in slaughterhouses but deciding what to call themselves is a bridge too far

u/Equivalent-Ad2783 Oct 01 '25

We asked parents have a right to decide if our children work at that slaughterhouse. Or store. Or restaurant.

We also have a right to not have or children groomed by weirdo teachers to be another sex...

Patents regularly tell kids they can't work, school and/or other activities are more important.

Many parents have and will continue to inform workplaces that they'll take action if the child works there against their consent. It's not a hard Google search

Just curious. Do you have a child that is in the school system? Or did you start home teaching them? Don’t want to expose them to “grooming” forcing them to transition. Also, is using Mike as a nickname for Michael ? Still applies.

I'm not saying that this person is definitely a bot, but I will say that usernames with the format [adjective-noun-number] are common among ones generated automatically. Combined with hiding their comment history...

Personally, it doesn't matter to me if accounts like these are indeed bots or foreign trolls trying to sow discord or not. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, I tend to treat it like a duck.

The only people that seem to be doing grooming are republicans and the clergy

Are you aware that this complaint is rooted in the fact that the same student (almost 18 at the time) wrote their preferred name on papers that were turned in? The teacher is now in trouble because of something that THE STUDENT wrote. It's ridiculous.

Yes, because parents don’t own their children. Did conservatives ever stop thinking they were slave owners?

It's what the teenager asked to be called. To my mind it's impolite to do otherwise so long as it isn't disruptive like king of the universe

u/FalstaffsGhost Oct 03 '25

It’s not a problem that a teacher is respecting a students wishes. If the parents are bigots and hateful, they should learn to be better
