Lauren Boebert Doesn’t Understand Difference Between ‘Mrs’ And ‘Miss’

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) hit the Twitterverse this past weekend to gripe about “marital status & pronouns” saying she doesn’t recall teachers sharing that info with students when she was growing up. Boebert’s tweet referenced a response from out White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre discussing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) decision to block the teaching of AP African American Studies in the state. In answering the question, Jean-Pierre noted, “these types of actions aren’t new…especially from Florida…Florida currently bans teachers from talking about who they are and who they love.” That was in reference to the Sunshine state’s Don’t Say Gay law which prohibits K-3 teachers from mentioning sexual orientation and gender identity with students.

The Twitterverse gagged on Boebert’s incoherent pronoun problem. https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1616864989595172865

Weird because I knew the pronouns of every single one of my teachers and for most of them I knew their marital status too. They announced them on the first day of class by referring to themselves as Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss.

Wait… you don’t know what “Mrs” means? Is this a joke?

Really? Are you certain you were there? Did you attend school in the USA? I always knew my teachers’ pronouns and marital status, all the way through school. Miss and Mrs was a dead giveaway. This is nonsense, You are a chaos agent.

What do teachers write on the board on the first day of school?? “Mrs/Ms/Miss Smith.” Or what if, in an attempt to establish a connection, the teacher mentions something funny that their partner did? I want to be protected from persecution if I say “my husband” vs “wife.”

I don’t recall active shooter drills in school when I was younger, Lauren, but my kids do.

Lauren Boebert attended elementary school at a hollow tree in a desolated part of the forest, and was taught by squirrels. The squirrels didn’t use pronouns.
