Chicago Students Forced To Adopt Transgender Pronouns

If kids in the Chicago school districts do not use these terms, “gender neutral terminology, such as using the pronoun ‘they,’ ‘their,’ ‘ze,’ ‘he’ and ‘she.’”, they will be punished.  Under the new guidelines, intentionally not calling a transgender by their preferred name or pronoun will result in consequences that reflect this offense.

The new guidelines are as follows:

The intentional or persistent refusal by students or school staff to respect a student’s gender identity (for example, intentionally referring to the student by a name or pronoun that does not correspond to the student’s gender identity) is a violation of these Guidelines, the Student Code of Conduct, and Comprehensive Non-Discrimination, Title IX and Sexual Harassment Policy.

These guidelines are referred to as a “Gender-affirming approach” and “CPS warns that “violations will result in appropriate consequences for offending staff and students.”  CPS explains this as a way to “ensure every student and adult in the CPS family can participate in an environment of complete tolerance and respect,”
