Why have we verbed the noun “parent”?
“Bringing up” (or training up) was the old terminology. And better. Because it reminded of the direction in which the action should lead. UP. Not DOWN.

Why have we verbed the noun parent? Because it's neutral, and claiming to "raise up" a child prior to judging the evidence is rank vanity.

(if disdain of homosexual behavior is "bigotry," is it any wonder hostility to Islam is "racism?")
