“It is ridiculous to think students are being taught biology in science classes, yet can be suspended for insisting biological reality is true,” she said.

“Several languages rely on masculine and feminine identifiers and the student is correct in pointing this out.

“The gender agenda is based on a radical political ideology that has no place in education. Schools need to stick to facts and st
