From Fox News: The Vermont Department of Health is advising educators and families to forego the terms “son” and “daughter” when speaking to students.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, the department suggested using what they referred to as “inclusive language for families” in the new school year.
“Equity in the classroom is an essential piece of a productive and healthy learning environment,” the post read.
The department advised using the terms “child” or “kid” instead of saying “daughter” or “son,” suggesting they are more “gender-neutral” words.
Here it is… the Vermont Department of Health boldly posted the announcement on Facebook on Wednesday.
“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. Sign up for our monthly Health Equity Newsletter for more tips!

News of the announcement is prompting major backlash.
“Vermont Department of Health has gone full retard,” one X user wrote.
“This is wokeism at its finest,” another person declared.
The Danbury Institute wrote, “The Vermont Department of Health says to stop using the terms “son” and “daughter” in order to be more inclusive. This erosion of the meaning of words and the dismantling of family as the building block of society is wrong. Christians must stand for truth and not give in on these issues.”
