Vermont Department of Health Urges Replacement of Terms ‘Son’ and ‘Daughter’ with ‘Gender-Neutral’ Terms in Schools
The Vermont Department of Health is urging educators and families to replace the terms “son” and “daughter” when speaking with students, suggesting instead that ‘gender-neutral’ terms be used. The woke suggestion is disguised as an attempt at inclusivity.
The department shared its suggestion on Facebook, along with examples of “inclusive language for families” for the new school year.
Their post reads, “The language we use matters! Many families and students are getting ready for the new school year. Equity in the classroom is an essential piece of a productive and healthy learning environment.”
“When talking about family, it’s important to use terms that cover the many versions of what family can look like.”
The graphic in the post suggests using “child” or “kid” instead of “son” or “daughter,” “family members” instead of “household members,” and “family” rather than “extended family.”
The Vermont Department of Health put out a post informing families that they shouldn’t call their child “son” or “daughter” because it isn’t “inclusive” enough.
