The War Against Parents

Motherhood and Fatherhood are under assault today. Broad based attempts by academia, governments, businesses, and yes, even some churches, are attempting to do away with terms such as Mother and Father, Mom and Dad. As reported in this March 10, 2021 New York Post article: A Manhattan private school aiming to use more “inclusive language” is encouraging its students to stop using the terms “mom,” “dad” and “parents” because the words make “assumptions” about kids’ home lives. (“NYC school encourages kids to stop using words like ‘mom,’ ‘dad’ in ‘inclusive language’ guide,” NYPost.com) Grace Church School serves junior kindergarten through 12th grade students in Noho, NY and offers a 12-page guide for students and staff on making this Episcopal school all inclusive. The guide explains that instead of using Mom and Dad, students and staff should use “grown-ups, folks, or family.” And instead of “husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend” they should use “spouse, partner, or significant other.” (“Grace Inclusive Language Guide”) There is no end to guides published by institutions of learning, businesses, governments, and the media on how to revolutionize how we speak to one another. Everything is included except what has been normal for most of mankind’s history. Where is this downgrading of Mothers and Fathers going to take us? Stay with me as I’ll not only use terms such as Mom and Dad on today’s program, but will honor mothers and fathers everywhere. And I’ll also be offering you an important resource for parents and grandparents and anyone else who desires to invest in our future generations. This booklet—Successful Parenting: God’s Way—by Dr. Jeffrey Fall can be yours free of charge, so be sure to have writing material available to take down our contact information that will be given several times during this program. Stay tuned as I will be back in five seconds to talk about The War Against Parents.
