‘Mother,’ ‘Father’ Changing to ‘Parent One,’ ‘Parent Two’ on Passport Applications
FOX News
The words “mother” and “father” will be removed from U.S. passport applications and replaced with gender neutral terminology, the State Department says.
Oh. Good. Grief.
Yes I understand that the State Department says that this is to “provide a gender neutral description of a child’s parents and in recognition of different types of families.” I get that.
But I don’t get why it’s necessary. And I really don’t think this is the biggest issue the State Department has to be worried about.
Here’s the kicker from the article:
“Sprague said the decision to remove the traditional parenting names was not an act of political correctness.”
Give me a break.
