Teachers warned not to say 'boys' or 'girls' because it reminds students of gender

[link to www.breitbart.com]

Per the article (less than 50%):

Teachers should avoid calling female pupils “girls” or “ladies” because it means they are “constantly reminded of their gender”, a former government mental health tsar has said.

Natasha Devon, who was appointed MBE in 2015 for “services to young people”, said the move would help transgendered children as well as encourage female and male students to defy traditional notions of gender, which affect “well-being”.

She told the Girls’ School Association’s annual conference in Manchester that she would “never walk into a room in an all-girls’ school and say ‘girls’ or ‘ladies’” because it is “patronising”.

My comment: Our schools need to place a higher priority on education rather than being so politically correct.

What is your take?
