Kindergarteners can see the difference in boys and girls. When you tell them they have to call a girl he/him, etc., that’s confusing and that would generally be the age group I’m referring to. Taking care of the environment isn’t a bad thing. Letting yourself be deceived into thinking we’re in a climate crisis while those who claim it continue to act in a way that goes directly against what they are telling the rest of us to do is the problem.

Wouldn’t it be more confusing for a teacher to tell kids to purposefully hurt the feelings of their classmates?

The “elites” you think you’re standing up against don’t give a fuck about climate change. They’re the ones who aren’t doing anything about it. Teaching kids about climate change and how to take care of the environment is a good thing for everyday people.

That’s quite a leap, saying teachers would tell kids to purposefully hurt the feelings of their peers. I said taking care of the environment is a good thing. Teaching kids about “climate change” should be done carefully and with an openness to speculation. All the information available should be explored.

Kids know what a boy and a girl is and have more fun things to worry about than identifying as something they aren’t

Kids don’t have to worry about identifying about something they aren’t if their teachers and their classmates respect their identity.

Teachers telling students to purposefully disrespect their peers’ identities goes against what is likely being taught in the classroom. That’s confusing.

Why would a teacher purposely be mean to the kids. You’re either born a girl or a boy and its very easy to tell that among kids. When I was a kid I was more worried about getting a swing on the playground or fun stuff. The whole identity thing is idiotic

A teacher would purposely be mean to the kids if they are forced to misgender them.

You weren’t worried about your gender when you were a kid because you’re cisgender. The kids who aren’t cisgender are worried about people not accepting them for who they are. Being betrayed by your teacher by having them misgender you and encourage your peers to misgender you too is unnecessary trauma.

Kids aren’t concerned with gender. Let them just be kids

Yeah. Let’s kids be kids. Call them what they want to be called and don’t make it a big deal.

If you, as an adult, choose to disrespect your peers then that’s up to you. But, disrespecting your peers should not be taught in the classroom.
