ELLE CAMPBELL WINS THEIR WEEKEND

Even though Elle is a pretty little red headed girl, she identifies as non-binary, (a very confusing concept for 8 to 12 year olds that is biologically inapplicable to the human species), and goes by they/them pronouns, (which of course is grammatically incorrect). Because Elle believes she is a “they” instead of a “she”, the book is titled “Elle Campbell Wins THEIR Weekend” instead of the grammatically appropriate “Elle Campbell Wins HER Weekend”. The question then becomes, “how is teaching a ten year old improper grammar on top of incorrect biology going to help him or her to become an educated adult ready for all that reality has to offer?” I don’t believe that it will and I believe that is the goal. What do you think?
