Tim Scott: ‘Woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy’
Tim Scott responds to MSNBC’s Joy Reid's comments calling the senator a ‘prop’
Grace Church School in New York City is warning that the terms "mom," "dad," and "parents" could be inappropriate because they make assumptions about kids' home lives.
Instead of those terms, the guide recommends "grown-ups," "folks," "family," or guardians. It also suggests using "caregiver" instead of "nanny/babysitter."
The guide came to light this week as part of City Journal's story on how "woke" ideology is influencing elite education. The Manhattan-based school offers instruction for junior kindergarten through 12th grade, according to its website.
Grace's guide asserts that "families are formed and structured in many ways. At Grace Church School, we use inclusive language that reflects this diversity. It's important to refrain from making assumptions about who kids live with, who cares for them, whether they sleep in the same place every night, whether they see their parents, etc."

Grace's guide touches on a variety of other characteristics. For example, it links to the "Genderbread person," which purports to outline where various aspects of gender and sexuality originate.

The school defended the guide in a statement.
"We understand the power of language both to include and to cause alienation," wrote Head of School George P. Davison. "We also know that it is our job to give community members resources to allow them to make informed and generous choices."
"If the boorish 'cancel culture' press wants to condemn us a newly dubbed 'Woke Noho' school of politeness, dignity and respect, then I embrace it, and I hope you will too," Davison wrote.
