I mean seriously, the masters of absurd drama have plenty of room to hide behind the narratives of today's reality. Let's say Ionescu's Rhinoceros would be considered a true classical realist work compared to a Swedish school's role-play. Let's see:
The school was punished because the teacher insulted the gender neutral student. A teacher refused to call a student a chicken, so he and his parents turned to the discrimination ombudsman, which punished the school, reports the international news agency V4NA.
The recent decision of the discrimination ombudsman (DO) states that people in the person's immediate environment must also participate in the role-play if the person wants to be addressed not as a binary but by a personal pronoun created by himself.
According to the DO, anyone who refuses to do so violates the privacy rights of a gender neutral person and must pay compensation to the non-binary person.
A student activist at a school in central Sweden has repeatedly argued for non-binary gender identification, according to which some people reject both biological sexes and adopt a gender-neutral, genderless self-concept.
The student demanded from his peers and teachers alike that everyone at school call him by the invented personal pronoun "hen".
A female teacher said no to this, as a result of which the student's parents first turned to the principal, who promised to speak to the teacher in question. Later, when the teacher insisted that she would not take part in this role-play, the parents reported the school to the ombudsman, who now awarded the student SEK 150,000 in compensation for the violation.
The person requested to pay the amount is the educational coordinator of the given school. If you don't pay by March 1, the DO will file a summons against the coordinator in district court. The coordinator will then have to pay large amounts of court costs and attorneys' fees.
Clas Lundstedt, DO press spokesman, said in relation to the authority's decision that the case is the first of its kind to go to court. At the same time, this opens up the possibility to talk about more: not just the use of the pronoun "hen", but any personal pronoun that the students want to be used for them.
In vain: God's zoo is big! There is plenty of choice! How beautiful would be the marriage of a tapir and a chameleon, for example! They would surely punish the priest if he couldn't stand it without laughing!
