The National Education Association is seeking to change the word “mother” to be more inclusive to the LGBTQIA+ community.
Fox News reported the resolution would change the word to “birthing parent.”
The proposed resolution stated, “Using this contract language, members need not worry about how a Board of Education/solicitor defines ‘maternity leave,’ ‘mother,’ and/or ‘father’; the language is an inclusive reflection of how LGBTQIA+ members build families.”
The outlet noted the resolution, NBI 63, was not brought to a vote.
The news of the resolution sparked criticism on Twitter.
Nicole Neily of Parents Defending Education told Fox News that “normal people don’t use the term chestfeeding or birthing person or any of this stuff.”
She added, “I think it just further underscores how completely out of touch the teachers’ unions…are from the concerns of normal parents.”
Neily called the situation “horrifying.”
Elana Fishbein from No Left Turn in Education argued the left is “arrogant,” adding, “They are dismissive of the family, the parents. It’s beyond Orwellian.”
She continued, “Even in science fiction, I don’t know if you can have such a script of complete destruction of human society.”
Fox News pointed out previous resolutions from the association included support for reparations.
One resolution on racial justice stated, “The Association acknowledges that both historical and current practices have systematically advantaged and privileged people of White European ancestry while disadvantaging and denying rights, opportunities, and equality for people of color.”
Additionally, the association in a resolution called on educators to combat “institutionally racist systems.”
The resolution explained, “The National Education Association believes that, in order to achieve racial and social justice, educators must acknowledge the existence of white supremacy culture as a primary root cause of institutional racism, structural racism, and white privilege.”
Soooo glad that I never had children...and also glad that I wont be alive to see the newest generation devolve into the confused, entitled little bastards that will finish destroying this once great country...that is if it isnt already destroyed.
In a sane world this insanity would be grounds for de-certification of the NEA to represent any persons for anything, let alone our teachers, who should know better and quit the association before that happens.
This is the mother of all absurdities.
B…is for the Birkenstocks you gave me
Teacher unions and everyone that belongs to one is the enemy. If you are a teacher and you don’t get that, then you don’t have any business being around children. You’ve kept your mouth shut and supported evil. You have done nothing to correct the problem.
True, they actually destroy families.
Or a orgasm donor?.
Heather Has Two Birthing Parents?
Exactly what I was thinking. If you’re adopted and all your teachers call you adopting mother your “birthing parent,” isn’t that pretty damn insensitive in a world where the wrong pronoun can get you fired?!?
Kind of like the adoption of the term “African-American” for black. We get to call Elon Musk and African-American because he emigrated from Africa. And I’ve heard some people even refer to the native population of Australia as “African-American” because they’ve been so indoctrinated that it means person with dark skin, that they don’t realize how ridiculous it is.
Was "teacher", now is "indoctrinational NPC".
