Saying ‘good morning boys and girls’ is one of the latest phrases being blacklisted by woke educators in an apparent attempt to fight sexist language in schools.
This is the latest case in an ongoing trend pushing for politically correct and ‘woke’ language in the classroom
The headmistress of a UK primary school has been blasted for creating ‘a generation of wallflower kids who are listening for an offense’ after she introduced her new language guidelines to the teachers. Among the number of ‘sexist’ phrases are ‘let’s go, guys’ and ‘boys and girls’.

RT reports: Sarah Hewitt-Clarkson, who heads the Anderton Park primary school in Birmingham, told the Good Morning Britain show on Thursday that students as young as three are taught to reject the use of the banned expressions by holding up posters.
The program – which has stoked fierce debate among parents – rewards the two students who flag the ‘best’ instances of such usage with certificates at the end of the week.
“If our boys and girls grow up and in school we don’t challenge this sexist language and boys are told, ‘man up’, ‘grow a pair’ and ‘boys don’t cry’, it’s very damaging for them…abusers later on potentially, or bullies, will also use this fear,” Hewitt-Clarkson said.
“Fear is the biggest weapon that abusers have and if boys are told, ‘boys don’t get scared’, ‘boys don’t talk about their feelings’, then where are they going to go when they are afraid and they are frightened?” she added.
“Fast forward a little bit to when the children are older just to see why this is so important because it’s a tiny part of a huge jigsaw,” said Hewitt-Clarkson, who had previously said that there was a thread tying tragic outcomes like the murder of Sarah Everard to casual ‘banter’ and the examples adults set.
When asked how the school handled the resulting issues in addressing students in a classroom setting, Hewitt-Clarkson said that the preferred greeting should be “good morning everyone” since that does not create a gender divide and includes people who might not identify as either sex.
Journalist Nana Akua, who was also part of the show, called the move “absolutely ridiculous” and warned that “we’re creating a generation of wallflower kids who are listening for an offence.”
Noting that the “context of language” was important, Akua told Hewitt-Clarkson her “energy is in the wrong place.”
Social media users were divided on the school’s emphasis on gender identity and inclusion with as many supporters defending the program as important as there were critics who called it unnecessary.
Describing it as “absolutely ridiculous”, one person, a primary school teacher, tweeted, “Let kids be kids. They grow up too fast as it is.”
Another user, identifying herself as an academic, said Hewitt-Clarkson was right since “we do segment” others based on lessons learned early on.
A number of users suggested she stick to teaching students “reading, writing, arithmetic and also how to be kind” instead of “any of this other stuff.”
The majority of users agreed with the need to “phase out” some phrases like ‘man up’ and ‘grow a pair’ but called for “balance and some common sense”. Some also expressed concern about the long-term effects of the program.

Is “Good morning Comrades,” allowed?
I can’t respond to anyone on that trash blog. That loser banned me because my opinions don’t fit his TDS narrative. Leave that woke echo chamber and take your friends with you.

Honored that you picked me out of the bunch. Thanks for actually seeking me out, so to speak. I kinda actually feel special.
But in my opinion, you were kind of abrasive, no offense. I feel you went too hard too fast. I was kinda raised to ease into something new, like asking questions and getting a feel of the place. You can’t go everywhere expecting them to fit your expectations, that just disappoints yourself and the people you talk to.
Maybe restrain a bit in the future? Not trying to be a d*ck or anything. I just wanted to lay it all out on the table as to what happened on BNR.
I’ll probably check this place out in the future. Thanks again for picking me as one of the names. Appreciate it.
You didn’t bend when I pressed. Good on ya.
Why would you press at all?
You started with partisan nonsense.
It seems like you start everything,
How so?
“I can’t respond to anyone on that trash blog. That loser banned me because my opinions don’t fit his TDS narrative. ”
You’re a drama queen, I thought you said you were banned? You can’t respond if you’re banned. Over react much???
You’re not very bright, are you?
You’re on different site.
So how long before they boot you from here?
Wrong question. You should be asking how long your silly narrative will last without censorship.
I’m betting you wear a facerag and got an injection already.
And I’m betting you are a hate and fear filled person who is easily brainwashed to believe lies. Putin loves you.
Oh this is going to be fun! You’re a completely brainwashed little slave aren’t you? Swallowed the TV propaganda about Putin. LMAO!
You do wear a facerag!
LMAO.
Thank you for proving my point.
You proved mine with your incompetent deflection. So you wear a facerag and got a lethal injection! Fearful and obedient little minion. You follow orders. LOL

Inject some disinfectant, stick a light bulb up your ass and send Rump some money, he needs it.
LMAO
See? You’re incapable of mature conversation. That’s why you post in that troll pit. You get smacked with painful reality if you walk outside.
Slave.

A mature conversation with a brainwashed minion…

You are too funny.
@disqus_bGyn0omOZ0:disqus Yes, the bend is clear on that silly blog. They allow you to post only ‘appropriate’ opinions.
Actually that blog is more stable than others. News Views being one of them.

Don’t cry little girl. You will be just fine.
So that proves my point about that troll hole.
You were being pretty confrontational and abrasive. Obviously they thought you were the troll.
I respond in kind.
Pretty sure there were a couple or few you started.
Nope. It escalated after trolls attacked my posts and so-called ‘mod’ deleted thread-relevant memes.
Attacked your posts because they may have been seen as inflammatory.
My posts were on topic. Trolling wasn’t.
That’s somewhat subjective.
only according to libtard echo chamber.
Which it isn’t. Plenty of cons there.
With libtards deleting posts? Yeah, sure.
There are con mods. And the dude that banned you wasn’t a libtard, he was an independent. Maybe you shouldn’t have pressed so many buttons in such a short time.
Oh FFS, I already forgot about that troll hole.
To each their own, man.
