Via College Fix:
Yesterday’s homecoming at Appalachian State University did not feature the usual king and queen but rather a “Homecoming Royalty” … in an effort to be more “gender inclusive.”
The college is merely following a trend.
Earlier this month the University of Wisconsin-Stout did away with its homecoming king and queen, breaking a nearly 80-year-old tradition. Last year, U. Wisconsin-Eau Claire abolished the “gender-binary” concept, as did San Diego State.
Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland went to a “Homecoming Royalty” concept because a king and queen was deemed “exclusionary” to its “gender-neutral and transgender population.”
