BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – New House rules unveiled by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are completely gender-neutral.
Pelosi announced the “visionary rules package” with Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern, D-Mass., on Friday and said it reflects the values of her diverse Democratic majority.
There’s nothing in the rules that prohibit members from using gender-specific terms when speaking on the House floor or conducting business.
House GOP leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., mocked the inclusionary effort as “stupid.”
Pelosi doubled down, and now she wants her rules extended to public schools nationwide. “I am trying to get a bill passed that would make it homophobic for a student to say they have ‘straight’ A’s. The more gender-neutral phrase I want them to say, is they have ‘consecutive uppercase letters of a vowel which also happens to be the first letter of the alphabet’… or something similar to that.”
