are you disappointed in an inclusive America ??? sometimes 
  
change with the times or be a dinosaur  the gender thing is real and not going to go away  yes, at this rate we will have hundreds of gender identities to sort through in short order 
 
 
 
Easthampton High School will transition the official language to “first year students” [COLOR="Red"]and ask students to use that phrase,.

 I object to the word "first"...it could be taken to imply that one or some students are better than others...they need to find more "number neutral" language to truly be "inclusive"
