A public elementary school in Massachusetts is using something called a “Gender Snowperson” to teach fourth graders not to assume people they meet are male or female, a district official revealed.
The revelation has triggered mockery and backlash online, with commentators accusing the school of indoctrinating young children in far-left ideology.
Johnny Cole, the director of equity & student support for Lexington Public Schools, first tweeted about the Gender Snowperson last Wednesday during a visit to Bowman Elementary School. In a series of hashtag-heavy posts, illustrated with photos, Cole cheered the “great #equity#learning that’s happening” at the Lexington school.
“There were lots of examples of #culturallyresponsiveteaching aimed at increasing #achievement & #studentengagement,” he said. “Here are just a few!”
Cole went on to praise a third grade teacher for preparing students to conduct “respectful conversations” and a fourth grade teacher for discussing immigration in a way that promotes “#Inclusion” and “#Diversity.”
It was in a third classroom, Lauren Archibald’s fourth graders, that Cole discovered the Gender Snowperson drawn on a display board. The photo he posted shows the gender-neutral snowman accompanied by colorful sticky notes explaining the nuances of gender, sex and sexuality.
A green note defines “Gender Identity” as “Who you are and how you feel as a person.” The options provided are “Girl, Boy, Both, or Neither.”
