By George F. Will Syndicated columnistThis column appeared in the Daily JournalIf the pronoun police of Wisconsin’s Kiel Area School District were just another woke excrescence on American education, they would be merely local embarrassments.

This language has been reasonably taken to encompass sexual violence, unwanted touching and such “unwelcome conduct” as persistent spoken sexual innuendo, stalking, etc. Her progressive spirit — “social justice” righteousness unrestrained by law — is on display in Wisconsin’s Kiel School District. It might, however, be best if schools that are eager to engage in pronoun policing not even attempt education.
