The Vermont Department of Health is attempting to force educators and families to use gender-neutral language such as “child” or “kid,” instead of “son” or “daughter.” The recommendation was made in a Facebook post in which the department guised LGBT language policing as “equity”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This advice has sparked controversies, with a right-wing social media account, Libs of TikTok, reposting a screenshot of the guidelines and commenting, “yes, this is real.” The Dansbury Institute, a group of nonpartisan churches focusing on public policy, criticized the move, stating that it erodes the meaning of words and undermines the family as the foundation of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The policing of language by left-wing ideologues is a common phenomenon in our culture. Its goal is to break down fundamental societal structures such as the family and corrupt basic realities such as gender. Parents must stand up to this indoctrination of children in their schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
