NYC school recommends students stop using 'mom' or 'dad' and replace the terms with more 'inclusive language'

A private school in Manhattan is encouraging students to stop using the words “mom,” “dad,” and “parents” and instead use more “inclusive language.”

“Families are formed and structured in many ways. At Grace Church School, we use inclusive language that reflects this diversity. It’s important to refrain from making assumptions about who kids live with, who cares for them, whether they sleep in the same place every night, whether they see their parents, etc.,” the guide from Grace Church School in NoHo says.

The Episcopal school recently sent a 12-page guide to students and staff recommending using the terms “grown-ups,” “folks,” “family,” or “guardians,” instead of terms “mom,” “dad,” and “parents.”

The guide also has recommendations concerning sexual orientation, gender, and race and how to ask questions in a more inclusive fashion.

What should they say? Parental unit?

[nhbob1]

They should say FU to the school and take their children out immediately. Being rich, dumb-a$$ liberals they will likely enthusiastically go along with the agenda.

Parental unit?

Is that an expression FROM FRANCE?

I’m sure those commies in NYC love this chit.

I don’t think we can say parental unit. Since parental unit is a reference to the verboten word parents, I think parental unit must be banned as well.

STOP using the Teacher and Principal and School

use, Master, Plantation Boss, and Indoctrination Center.

[cuban leaf]

So far they are only “recommending” and “encouraging”.

We’ll see where they take it. It is a private school, after all. They need customers.

I guess stupidity has no bounds. Notice that they use the word "parents" in their guide to discourage the use of the word "parents".

Sorry, you do not have the right to censor my speach.

Ah, the gentler kinder communism.

They should also stop using words like “grace” and “church” in reference to the school. They should instead use more accurate terms, such as “propaganda centers” and “child indoctrination facility”. They’ll be changing all those mistakes God wrote, like “honor your non-binary guardians”.

Their suggestions are fraught with so many problems...

• "Grown-up" implies that others are inferior, immature, childish and irresponsible. It also implies others have smaller physical stature and is implicitly mocking their small size. Nope. Cannot have that.
• "Folks" is obviously too folksy. It is condemning people who aren't folksy, come from urban settings, and don't tell folk stories or have folk traditions. Nope. Out of the question.
• "Family" would be perceived as hateful and hurtful by those who do not have families. Forget it.
• "Guardians" is stern, harsh, suggesting of force controlling weaker people or of ownership of inferior people. Out of the question!

Clearly the best thing we can do is eliminate all spoken and written language.

This is insanity - refusing to see and acknowledge human nature. Deliberately putting their own unscientific stupid ideas in the place of what is obvious, and has been from the dawn of humanity.

They choke on the words “Male and female He made them.”

“They’re well off; they’re safe; they’re never ill; they’re not afraid of death; they’re blissfully ignorant of passion and old age; they’re plagued with no mothers or fathers; they’ve got no wives, or children, or lovers to feel strongly about; they’re so conditioned that they practically can’t help behaving as they ought to behave.”

Parental unit?

Yeah, ya know, like Dr. Suess....Thing 1 & Thing 2.

wait, nevermind, he got cancelled.

[usafa92]

30 years ago we used to jokingly call a military wife a “spousal unit”. Who knew?

[John Leland 1789]

Perhaps “guardian unit,” or “legal guardian unit.”

[fishtank]

“Folks”......

My LEAST favorite Obama cringe-word.
