Third-graders will be allowed to misspell the word women in the national spelling bee. The incorrect spelling “womyn” will be accepted to appease feminists.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
In yet another bend-the-knee moment of wokesim, the Scripps National Spelling Bee will now allow an alternative spelling of the word “women.”
In their latest list of study words for third-graders hoping to compete in the national competition, the word “women” can now also be spelled in the feminist-approved way as “womyn.”
Fox News reports:
A spokesperson for Scripps explained to Fox News Digital that all words Scripps uses in its program are pulled from the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary, which has the alternate spelling for “women.”
“All of the words used in the Scripps National Spelling Bee program are pulled from our official dictionary, Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary. During competition, our policy is to accept any correct spelling listed in our official dictionary that isn’t marked archaic or obsolete. The alternate spelling ‘womyn’ is therefore included on our study list because it is listed as an alternate spelling for ‘women’ in Merriam-Webster,” a spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“In building our study lists, we aim to include alternate spellings for any words that have them listed in Merriam-Webster. The Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary is the final authority and sole source for the spelling of all words offered in competition,” the statement continued.
These children are having reality ripped out from under them. At this rate why even have a spelling bee at all if we are going to include goofy made up spelling for words?
