A New York Manhattan private school encourages kids to stop using words like 'mom,'dad' and 'parents' in 'inclusive language' guide, because the words make "assumptions" about kids home lives.
The Episcopal school, 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 document also states how to use appropriate terms relating to gender, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity.
Instead of asking a person, "What are you? Where are you from?," to query should be, "What is your culture/ethnic background? Where are your ancestors/is your family from?," according to Grace's guild.
