To avoid discrimination against ‘non-traditional families,’ teachers have been encouraged to replace the words mom and dad with ‘grown-ups.’

It’s said St. Luke’s Primary, Elm Grove Primary, Carlton Hill Primary, and Saltdean Primary, all in Brighton, East Sussex, have decided teachers should instead use the term “grown-ups”. They reportedly feel it is more inclusive and caters to children who are not raised by their biological parents or are brought up by two parents of the same gender.

But the guidance has been labeled as a “woke cancel culture” with parents largely reacting in furor.

In fact, furious parents with children at Carlton Hill Primary School, in Sussex Street, told the Daily Mail that the policy was “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?”

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.

With liberals in control, things are getting weird, and “woke” ideology is at their top priority.
