There is more to this. One can sarcastically say yes ma'am to someone in an authority role after being told to do something.

Yes ma'am and yeeesssss mmmaaa'aaaaaaam are the same.

25 years ago , there were women in L.A. that thought it was a pejorative of some sort ,

after the third woman asked the dept. Mgr.
to have me stop saying that.
I just quit saying it

[bill burr] Good example of someone who needs the shit slapped out of her (I said NEEDS but as a gentleman we should NEVER actually do it). {sic}[/bill burr].

Honestly that is just pure liberal bullying by the teacher and should not be tolerated.

On a side note: whenever I am out in public I open doors for women - every type, age, race known and EVERY one seems to appreciate it.
Maybe it's just because we are in Texas.

I guess it was still better than addressing her as 'Mrs. $30 for half an hour' ?

All about feels. Probably a 20-something snowflake who feels "old" being called "ma'am".

No, as noted it’s not just what you say but how you say it. This is about a kid being an annoying little shit and either he, or mama, or both lying about it.

That's exactly what I was thinking... there could be another side to the story. Don't have a clue, but the kid could be a brat and of course mom thinks he's just an angel who needs more love. But then these days it's all about "the children" and protecting them from anything even slightly difficult in the world.


You and palm are spot in here.

A lot of conservative “news” outlets are trying to spin this into something it’s not implying this is some sort of preferred pronoun issue. Lying and twisting the truth is not just a problem when liberal media do it. We are supposed to be better than them.

It is about a kid with behavior issues and a teacher who over reacted by threatening to throw something at the kid,

You have that, completely, wrong. Like most Southern mannerisms, its a bit hard to set actual rules for it. I think its "an adult the child is supposed to know/trust" is called "Mr/Mrs First Name".

I know within your church family/circle of friends, it would be very odd to tell a child to use Mr/Mrs Last Name.

My second wife, rest her soul, used to (nicely and laughingly) ask the son of her physical therapist to not call her ma'am. It made her feel old. I am in the camp thinking the kid might have over-enunciated the ma'am.

If he didn't "Yes MS Twatwaffle" woulda worked. but wouldn't have worked out too well.
