So there was a project going on in French primary schools which consisted in pupils from all over the country writting their own online dictionary.
The kids had to write the entries in their own words and were only marginally assisted by their teachers.
The dictionary sparked indignation of the ministry of education as some of the entries were deemed « sexist » and « unacceptable as they are written ». It has eventually been decided that the website hosting the project would not be made accessible to the public.
The officials of the ministry were particularly shocked by the definitions the children gave to the words « woman » and « father ».
According to the pupils, a « woman » is : « a mother, a grand-mother or a young girl. She wears jewelry, skirts and dresses. She has breasts », while the « father » was described as being « the mother's husband, the one without whom the mother could not have children ». « He is the head of the family because he protects his wife and his kids ».
It's quite appalling to see how they're now imposing their PC agenda on small kids who barely know how to read.
Even more concerning is the fact that no one has protested against that measure, apart from a few libertarian bloggers here and there.
