elementary school teachers could be among the first 5% of people to adopt a new super-inclusive type of brand new lefty language

Elementary school teachers are also more likely to crack down on any sort of insulting language in general. I remember when I was a kid in the 4th grade, our teacher would punish us for asking, “So?” So was short for ‘So what?’ At the time it was (sometimes properly, give me a break, Mrs. H) a way to insultingly say that someone else’s statement was meaningless.

It wasn’t because it was ableist, or anything else you could point a finger to except insulting, and teachers head that sort of interaction off early.
