Right now, the wchools are just “encourging”. In a Few years or less, they will pass some school rule that it is “hate speech” to use such terms, and Wil, begin suspending kids that use such violent terms as MOM DAD, BROTHER, SISTER

For infantilized leftists, “Mommy” and “Daddy” will work.

In ‘Brave New World’, Aldous Huxley’s dystopian future novel, “mother”, “father”, “brother”, “sister”, are considered obscenities that are never used at all....................

'Destroy the language, destroy the culture, destroy the nation. The Communists (democrats) game plan."

I wonder who, really, is pulling the strings on all of this crap? Soros? I have other guesses but have just been utterly perplexed at the success of the cancel movement.

I have some vague recollection of a family in a movie that used the term “parental unit”... But I think they were from France.

Unit is fine but I question if "parental" is too emotional and implies loving closeness to the offspring unit./s

How about using: "The broad that popped you out" and "The stud that knocked her up" instead.

See if that settles things down in indoctrination class.

Are these people messed up in the head? In what world, and what circumstances, could it offend the sensibilities of someone to hear words such as mother, father, and parents?
