The Vermont school wants to “align the curriculum with a policy of equality” and begins saying “person who produces sperm” and “person who produces eggs” during science classes.
Parents of students at Founders Memorial School, in the state of Vermont, received a letter last week with new guidelines on the language that should be used within that school. According to the note received, the objective will be to adopt a “gender inclusive language” and, therefore, during science classes, the masculine and feminine words will be replaced by ‘person who produces sperm’ and ‘person who produces eggs’.
In the letter that the parents received, and which is quoted by the Daily Mail, the school principal explains that the students will begin to address the issue of reproduction in science classes and that this is the ideal time to “align the curriculum with a equality policy”. ”. “Teachers will use gender inclusive language during this module.”
Thus, teachers will mention “person who produces sperm, instead of boy and man” and “person who produces eggs, instead of girl and woman”.
