A private school in New York City is looking to ax terms like “mom” and “dad” from students’ vocabulary, according to its “inclusive language guide.”
The Grace Church School in Noho — which offers academic courses for junior kindergarten through 12th grade — issued a 12-page guide to students and staff explaining the school's mission of inclusivity.
The detailed guide recommends using the terms "grown-ups," "folks," "family" or "guardians" as alternatives to "mom," "dad" and "parents." It also suggests using "caregiver" instead of "nanny/babysitter."
