British Schools Strike "Mum" and "Dad" from Newspeak Dictionary

Bureauweenies have forbidden the words "mum" and "dad" in British schools, having determined that they reinforce the hated conventional family by assuming that a child's parents are of different genders.
When discussing marriage with secondary pupils, teachers should also educate pupils about civil partnerships and gay adoption rights.
The guidance — produced for the Government by gay rights group Stonewall — will be formally launched today by Schools Secretary Ed Balls.
Just call him Ben Wa.
While educrats aggressively impose acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle, children are forbidden from using the word "gay":
It [the "guidance"] states that children who call classmates "gay" should be treated the same as racists as part of a "zero tolerance" crackdown on the use of the word as an insult.
The expression "be a man" is forbidden, because it "leads to bullying of those who do not conform to fixed ideas about gender." Gay role models are to be encouraged. The zero-tolerance approach to anything even remotely suggesting disapproval of homosexuality "is central to achieving progress and an environment in which being gay is not thought of as being inferior."
There used to be a law against openly promoting homosexuality in British schools. It was repealed.
It's not surprising that politically correct establishmentarians would try to remake children in their own image. Unfortunately, that means trying to reduce them to squishy, pathetic, depraved obscenities.
