Woke National Education Association looks to change 'mother' to 'birthing parent' in contracts 'to be inclusive for LGBTQIA+ people' as furious moms brand teachers' union the 'K-12 Cartel'
- The National Education Association wants to remove 'mother' from its contracts
- The union would instead use 'birthing parent' to be inclusive LGBTQ people
- Furious mothers slammed the union for pushing its 'radical agenda' on families
- Moms called the NEA the 'K-12 Cartel' that 'holds parents and children hostage'
The National Education Association has proposed changing the word 'mother' to 'birthing parent' in its union contracts to be more inclusive to the
LGBTQ community.
The teachers union claimed the proposed resolution would change the language used in contracts to be a more 'inclusive reflection' of all educators' families.
Furious mothers slammed the proposal, calling the union a 'K-12 Cartel' that is 'holding parents and children hostage' to its
woke agenda.
The NEA was set to vote on the resolution Wednesday in
Chicago during its annual Representative Assembly conference attended by more than 6,000 educators.
It is unclear if the measure passed as the union did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
The proposed resolution aimed to change union contract language so members 'need not worry about how a Board of Education/solicitor defines 'maternity leave,' 'mother,' and/or 'father.''
'The language is an inclusive reflection of how LGBTQIA+ members build families,' the document, which was obtained by
Fox News, stated.
It appears the resolution would remove words like 'mother' and 'father' from all union contracts, changing the terms to 'birthing parent' and 'non-birthing parent,' respectively.
'Maternity leave' would also be referred to as 'parental leave.'
Parents allege the proposal is just another example of how the union has failed to prioritize the educational needs of American children.
'Normal people don't use the term chestfeeding or birthing person or any of this stuff,' Nicole Neily of Parents Defending Education said. 'I think it just further underscores how completely out of touch the teachers' unions… are from the concerns of normal parents.'
She added: 'It's horrifying.'
'We believe in American teachers, and we don't believe that the lack of focus that the union has on children is represented,' echoed Tiffany Justice of Moms for Liberty, adding that the 'K-12 Cartel' is 'holding parents and children hostage to a radical agenda.'
Elana Fishbein from No Left Turn in Education also accused the NEA of trying to destroy society and the American family.
'They are arrogant. They are dismissive of the family, the parents. It's beyond Orwellian,' she told the news outlet. 'Even in science fiction, I don't know if you can have such a script of complete destruction of human society.'
