A teacher in Arizona added some changes to the Declaration of Independence for the purpose of making it neutral to gender. For third grade, this may seem a bit advanced but the Man / Woman relationship is a binary thing. They get the difference.
Perhaps it was the teacher's thinking was to give the children an idea of Feminism since, as above, it's a binary thing in the understanding of Feminism since we believe Men and Women are equal or we don't.
The Rockhouse doesn't see such a terrible thing and the comedy comes in the reaction to it. There was the thinking and active expression of shrieks to do treat the noble document verbatim or you will burn.
Also from the Rockhouse view, it appears the strongest proponents of political correctness are those who insist the document should be frozen in stasis.
Zen Yogi: they were so furious!
Truly, Yogi, and check this:
“I was hurt. I was mortified. I was disturbed at the fact that somebody is changing historical documents and nobody has the right to change our historical documents,” Vaillencourt told KGUN. “You teach how it’s written. You don’t get to rewrite it and teach what you believe.”
The College Fix: Arizona elementary schoolers taught ‘gender-neutral’ Declaration of Independence
She probably doesn't overreact like this on everything, Yogi.
Zen Yogi: do you really believe that?
Well, nope.
“When I confronted the teacher she in fact believed this behavior to be within her rights,” [Vaillencourt] wrote, according to the Daily Mail.
The mother said her child was removed from the teachers class, but school officials said her social media posts “hurt the teacher’s feelings,” KGUN reports.
Kimberly LaPrade, dean of the College of Education at Grand Canyon University, said teachers should know better than to inject their own personal politics into the classroom.

Zen Yogi: see, then she turned meaner and took it to social.
Here's the modified document or at least part of it, also cheerfully uploaded to online by Vallencourt.
Zen Yogi: there's no comedy in her. She's willful, malicious, and has quite a hunger for attention
Nope, she ain't funny and we could Doctor Phil her all day but I strongly suspect y'all out there have something vastly more interesting to occupy your minds.
Zen Yogi: here's a hot tip, Brother Silas, since you need to be finding something interesting extremely fast
The interesting aspect is what would you do. In the Rockhouse view, the teacher's actions were harmless since she's not trying to rewrite the document but rather suggesting an alternate view of it to get the little fuckers to think. The school said she should have known better than to insert political matters into the classroom but it wasn't political until Vallencourt stuck her nose into it.
The teacher suggests to me it would have been better if she had given the document to the children and then asked them why they think any change is necessary or do they. We want their minds popping off like they're tiny flashbulbs as insights flow through them from the knowledge, right?
The worst thing in a classroom is when the students don't engage so it seems much healthier to encourage that engagement rather than simply lecturing them.
Zen Yogi: and then drugging them with various psychoactive chemicals which ostensibly counteract attention deficits in the kids when actually they're bored out of their minds by pedantic teachers
Well, we really don't want to tangle with the pharmacological aspect of it since all of us know there's no goodness in that. I've heard a number of you who were outraged when a teacher suggested using such drugs on your own kids so I have no doubt you get it with these chemicals.
There seems considerable thinking that kids are stupid because they're young but they're born with almost their full complement of candles burning. It's only the knowledge they lack. Einstein was probably solving quadratic equations in the delivery room because, well, he just already knew how to do them.
Perhaps there's some comedy with this for you in the premise from Vallencourt this document and presumably the Constitution as well must remain inviolate. She said nobody has the right to change these historical documents.
Zen Yogi: Congress has modified the Constitution about twenty-eight times now
I'm not sure if it's even more but it's something like that.
Zen Yogi: see, Silas, you may be mixing up yer ironic absurdity with your comedy, mate
Yah, that happens quite a bit.
Wouldn't it be better if we could talk about such things dispassionately while the documents stand in all their solemnity. They truly are noble documents but that's not the same as any need to confer reverence upon them.
The teacher's purpose falls a tad short of that but the general idea is not so shabby if it gets the students to talking and leave any political polemics at home, kids. Thank you.
On a somewhat-related note, perhaps some have seen an old B&W TV show called "Kids Say the Darndest Things" and it featured Art Linkletter. People loved the show since it had all the cuteness of kids but without making them so precious you would need insulin after the show was over.
It's the same concept since you just need to get them talking and kids damn sure will say the darndest things.
Parents probably know this like it's engraved in their thinking since it's a great thing to get the sullen little fuckers to talk. That engagement is the life with them and so it is with the teaching. No-one is going to take the Declaration of Independence to turn it, burn it, or set it aside as it's a magnificent document written specifically to excite active minds.
Zen Yogi: plus incite a whole lot of sedition
That, too, furry buddy, since the document is live from top to bottom. It seems an exemplary selection for discussion to get those little rotters to think, think, think. That's got to be the goodness when we can talk about such things reasonably.

The country was founded on ideals. While it may have seemed self evident that all men are created equal, the new American government did not treat them so. Only the Congress voted for President. Senators were elected by state legislatures. Congressmen were elected by white men who owned land. Slaves were counted as 3/5 of a person and could vote for no one. Women couldn't vote and married women could not own anything. For example, George Washington married a rich widow, Martha Custus. Martha's first husband was much wealthier than George. When Martha married George her former husband's fortune became all George's. Martha had to ask George's permission to spend any of it. So, we have come a long way and granted we still have a long way to go before all humans are treated equally(Note: my change from created to treated). So, the Declaration of Independence establishes the ideal of Sursum. Ad Summum ( Rise to the Highest).
