I’ve been following various gender equality trends I guess you can call them with kids. It’s important that my kids identify their own interests independent of biology and I like to see what others are doing to promote this value.
I ran across an article about a preschool in Sweden by the name of Egalia. They take gender neutral to a whole new level. They purposly mix up toys so traditionally male toys are grouped with traditional female toys. They encourage any gender child to pretend anything in role play, including parents. They made up a gender neutral pronoun and have special training for all their staff on how not to engage in gender specific anything.
I see value to a lot of what they are doing, but I think it’s that step to far. We do it in America with culture all the time. Everything needs to be PC and color blind. Instead of embracing our differences and learning their value, we push a warped sense of equality. Differences are ignored and I see that like a sin.
While I like the intent of what this preschool is doing, I think it’s too much.
