The National Education Association (NEA) recently put forward
a resolution that would have seen the term "mother" be changed to “birthing parent” in
contracts to promote stupidity diversity.
Fortunately, the resolution is now dead, at least for this
year. In an email sent to The Washington Times, the NEA
stated: “NBI 63 [New Business Item 63] was
not considered on the floor of NEA’s 2022 Representative Assembly.” This, perhaps coincidentally, came after
the proposal was roundly mocked by parents and others.
The proposal was preposterous on its face, but perfectly in
keeping with the growing tide of insanity being pushed by many of our formerly
respected institutions. And The Left’s War on Women.
It would have been yet another blow to the English language,
already diluted and abused, awash in vagary, group speak, and euphemism.
When such important words are replaced to assuage the
feelings of a handful of loonies, countless excellent phrases, cliches and
idioms become nonsensical or are rendered impotent.
For example, consider the phrase, “a face only a mother could
love.” Does “a face only a birthing parent could love” similarly resonate with
you?
She’s such a “birthing parent hen” simply doesn’t work at
all. “Hello, my ‘brother from another birthing parent’” loses much in
translation, as well.
“Birthing parent
of God! I’ve hit the birthing parent lode!” just doesn’t cut it. Nor do any of
the following:
*”the birthing
parent of all evils”
*”birthing parent
nature”
*”birthing parent
of pearl”
*”necessity is the
birthing parent of invention”
*”step-birthing
parent”
*”birthing parent
country”
Sweet Mary,
birthing parent of Jesus, this is ridiculous!
I’d like to tell
those birthingparentf*ckers at the NEA: “your birthing parents wear army boots!”
(And, no, I
don’t kiss my birthing parent with that mouth!)
