Would you send your kids to a school where they can’t even teach the difference between a woman and a man? That’s the question parents are asking themselves in Broward County, Florida. Administrators say that’s a question which is simply too complicated to answer. If they can’t get their heads around that, how can they teach other basics, like reading and math. By the time these students get to biology, they’ll be hopelessly confused. They’ll also be doctors for the next generation of seniors. The ones who are teachers now. What goes around always seems to come back around.
Woman can’t be defined
Broward County Public Schools sort of released a “definition” for the word “woman.” They refused to define it directly. To them, there is no “clear cut answer.” In a basic reading class, that word simply has no meaning.
They’re still trying to come up with something to tell inquisitive parents who wonder what the word means in the sex education classes. They’ll get back to parents on that, they whimper.
Everyone in the human race is either a woman or a man. Despite that simple fact of nature, the public school system in Broward County, Florida, and many others across the nation, are struggling to define the words to the students they’re supposed to be “educating.” The reason for avoiding the factual issue is because the real reason teachers are in modern classrooms is “indoctrination.”

They don’t want graduates who can think for themselves, they want to reduce the world population through psychological birth control methods. Nobody likes to talk about that though. Even suggesting it is “intolerant,” “homophobic” and likely to get you arrested by the FBI for hate crimes.
While the district admits that they have “no specific definition” for females in the context of sex education, they haven’t got around to eliminating the word from their textbooks completely, yet. BCPS noted that “the word ‘pregnant‘ is defined as ‘a woman who is going to have a baby.’”
If you’re about to have a baby then you are one. Other than that, it’s still an iffy question. The controversy started when school board member Brenda Fam asked the superintendent publicly at their meeting on March 28. The reason for asking was that “parents wanted a clear answer as a way to determine if they should keep their children enrolled in the district.”
Condemned for asking
BCPS Superintendent Earlean C. Smiley casually replied that there was “no clear-cut answer.” Fam added that she needed something to tell the parents who were breathing down her neck over it. She was simply asking the question “on behalf of parents who had voiced concern during the public comment portion of the meeting.” They really want an answer. The district won’t cooperate.
“Some of my parents have had some questions that I actually posed and didn’t get a response for. They want to know what the definition of a woman is for sexual education curriculum in Broward County. They want to know what individuals can get pregnant and what individuals can give birth.” It’s a fair question.
“I think this, especially, with school vouchers and school choice, this is going to weigh heavy on them in whether or not they choose to leave the school system or whether they stay based on some of these responses,” Not only that, “they are very serious, and they want answers to these questions.” Defining man and woman was easy up until a few years ago. Merriam-Webster has no problem listing “an adult female person.” What’s so difficult about that?
When the superintendent of your public school district doesn't know what a woman is, your kids should NOT be going to the public schools.

To progressives, it’s the word female. The same dictionary has a simple answer for that one too. “Of, relating to, or being the sex that typically has the capacity to bear young or produce eggs.” Since BCPS already admits that women get pregnant and give birth, what’s the problem? Parents in that county will soon be making a massive shift to home schooling.
Back at the school board meeting, just mentioning the word almost got Fam dragged away by federal agents. “When Fam asked why the school board could not clearly define ‘what’s a man and what’s a woman,‘ another school board member Sarah Leonardi responded, appearing annoyed.” The progressive simply had to set the record straight.
“This curriculum, the policy, the support guide, the goal of all of us being here is to support children and to educate children. Not to engage in a political line of questioning that distracts from that mission. I just think it’s very important that we stick to the purpose of, again, the curriculum, the policy, the support guide, which is to support children and not get distracted by other agendas.” Like telling the truth or preparing children to read books without pictures.
