India Today
The teacher's lesson was not welcomed by a large section of Twitter. Many pointed out that kids should focus on education.
Society is an ever-changing institution and the constituents of society are quite different from what it was a decade ago. Now, the situation requires a person to be well-read about gender sensitization.
A kindergarten teacher named Kailina has taken up the responsibility of teaching kids the proper use of pronouns in a TikTok video that has now gone viral. In the clip, she talks about how children should understand the correct use of pronouns from a young age so that they can make society a better place.
She also talks about how one should not teach kids about the term ‘preferred pronouns’.
“Kindergarten teacher explains why teachers need to talk about pronouns with their students. She thinks we need to discuss gender and pronouns with 5 year olds,” read the caption.
