Schools Now Telling Kids NOT to Call Their Parents Mom And Dad…?

In the latest installment of woke policies being forced onto children, now teachers are being told to encourage replacing the words mom and dad with ‘grown-ups.’

This new practice is to avoid discrimination against ‘non-traditional families.’

And apparently it’s more than just one school promoting this change of wording, as St. Luke’s Primary, Elm Grove Primary, Carlton Hill Primary, and Saltdean Primary, all in Brighton, East Sussex are having teachers use the new term.

The schools claim that the term is more inclusive and caters to children who are not brought up by their biological parents and or who are raised by parents of the same gender.

However not all are accepting of the change, as many parents are reacting in anger, labelling the guidance as ‘woke cancel culture.’

Many furious parents with children at Carlton Hill Primary School have told the Daily Mail that they feel the policy is “confusing” and “madness.”

“It’s very confusing for us adults, never mind the kids.”

“They just don’t understand why the teachers can’t call their mums or dads, mum or dad?”

“I know the schools are trying to take into account the different kinds of families pupils may come from, but the majority have a mum or dad, regardless of if they are together or not.”

“So why can’t staff just keep it simple for the kids and call their parents what they are; mum or dad?”

 “In trying to be more inclusive, the schools are forgetting about mum and dad, the most important people in a kid’s life. This is just madness, where will it stop?”

AWM reported more on the policy:

Brighton’s Carlton Hill Primary School also plans to cancel the words “mom” and “dad,” and their website was updated to state the following: “We try to talk about our ‘grownups’ rather than our ‘mums and dads’ to acknowledge the different family groupings our pupils live in.”

Another school, Saltdean Primary, updated its Equality and Diversity Policy to the following: “Language- we use the terms parents/carers rather than ‘mum’ and ‘dad’ as we recognize that our families are made up of many different people. When children start at Saltdean, they discuss and share what makes a family for them. This allows children to see different family dynamics than their own but also helps them to recognize that it is the relationships that make a family.”

Nevertheless, the schools defend their decision to use the word “grownups” instead of “mom” or “dad” because there are more and more students being raised by adults other than their biological parents.
