PC GINGER BREAD PERSON

Someone must pay!
Council bureaucrats have stripped gingerbread men of their gender and renamed them gingerbread ‘persons’ on menus for 400 primary schools.
Of course you know what I'm compelled to do, don't you?   That's right.  Rollover!

Burying the lede, Rodge. The English are destroying the English language.

1. Biscuits? Rly? If they could make a damned biscuit, they wouldn't need to rename cookies. Right?

2. Pudding is a nutritious snack, and vital dietary supplement for people suffering from ailments, or recovering from surgery, in the digestive system. It's also delicious.

How does any of that get to be a metaphor for a bad thing?!?

Also, somebody has to say it: Your idea for anatomically-correct gingerbread males is going nowhere. Everybody likes their cookies Gay. Deal with it.

Nnnnn ...
I dunno.
The gingerbread guy looks a lot like Mohammed.
(Just seein' what crawls out, boss.)

Wait,
does that mean that Santa Claus cookies have to look neutered, too? How about androgynous?
You know ...
it's Santa Pat!

This PC stuff makes Me sick.. Anyone that wants to devoid or do away with generalizations such as gingerbread men or gingerbread women must be ashamed of there sex and feels the need to make everyone else as miserable as they are. Pitiful people they are, They deserve to be faceless unknown and unsung.

Oh, good grief. That kind of stuff makes me want to dig out my hidden copy of Little Black Sambo and display it on the coffee table.

People who survived Russian communism have said that one of the worst parts was to have to agree that things which were manifestly not true were the truth, and in this way the people were divided, since you could never tell whom you could trust not to rat you out for going against the party line. This is part and parcel of the same thing, as you can now be fired, or at least shunned, if you are a teacher and refuse to toe the party line. It is also a way for them to tell who is on their side.

Be aware that many teachers, especially the older ones that I know absolutely despise this stuff, as does any thinking person.

By telling the truth in the face of these lies we strengthen ourselves and help demolish their alternate reality. I do this all the time with the kids I work with, and it hasn't cost me too many students, and in fact strengthens the parents in resisting the groupthink. The parents often break into a broad smile at some of the things I say. And I always make a point in class to the parents that if they disagree with me, they should discuss the matter with their children.

Well, what I would do is tell them "This is a good idea. After all only a woman would be dumb enough to fall for the fox's trick" and see how fast they change it back...
