The Elkton School Board is apparently “having a meeting” after a convicted sex offender was invited to a classroom to speak with students:
The Elkton School Board will discuss a revision of guest policies after a sex offender was invited into a classroom as a guest speaker.
and..
According to Jandahl, the school board will be revising the guest policy so that the administration will have more oversight on who is invited into classrooms. The school board will also implement a policy that will allow them to ban non-student sex offenders from school grounds, school activities and property under control of the school.
You hate to over react.. but I would have thought that not visiting schools would have been an automatic condition placed upon a convicted sex offender who as an element of their crime offended with a minor. Or were just a sex offender, period.
Sex offenders in the classroom ….. sounds like some PISCHKE supports. Does everyone remember that vote ?
“a convicted sex offender who as an element of THEIR crime….”
Does this person have multiple personalties or you have gone woke with your pronouns?
If you don’t want to use a gender-specific pronoun, the proper singular pronoun is “it.”
Singular “they,” used since the 14th century and has been the recommendation of the Chicago Manual for over 30 years. But sure, let’s worry about the opinion of dime store EB White, who clearly lacks the grammatical precision to articulate the difference between a pronoun and a plural possessive.
You are either mistaken or a Progressive liar. The Chicago does not recommend using the word they as a singular pronoun. In fact, it recommends otherwise. See https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/Pronouns/faq0018.html.
I inadvertently left out the work Manual.
A sex offender is welcomed into a classroom around kids and you are here whining about pronouns?
anon- some people miss the boat often it seems like anymore
Magats will cut off their nose to spite the liberals. They are going to screw the rest of the gop and hand the election to biden.
Nothing says “have fun” like putting sex offenders near children. Scintillating logic, here.
The censorship around here is getting interesting.
Only deleted comment here was Scott’s inane justification of “living let live” as far as sexual predators goes.
“Have fun.” Yeah, a pretty terrible thing to write, given context.
Wrong. There was a comment reply to anon 2 above that was removed.
