Just when you thought wokeness couldn’t get any more ridiculous:
A private school in New South Wales has moved to change its yearly “Mother’s Day Stall” into a “Family Gift Stall” to be more inclusive – but some mums aren’t keen on the idea.
It is actually called “Mother’s Day”.
Hunter Valley Grammar School sent an email to parents this week outlining why they altered it.
“The purpose of the stall is to celebrate loved ones,” the promotional email began.
[…] Several mums weren’t keen on the change, reported the Daily Telegraph, with many saying they felt it was insulting.
[…] The change to be more inclusive was made “based on feedback from families in the school community, that it was upsetting some of the children from non-traditional families who have two dads or may not have a mum present in their lives”, according to the mum.
Read: ‘We sent a few emails out and picked the ones that agreed with us.’
Another mum said it was “woke ideology”.
[…] Rebecca Butterworth, the school’s principal, told the newspaper they didn’t want to “diminish the significance” of Mother’s Day.
“Our intention in renaming the stall was to ensure that the children in our school who don’t have a mother in their home feel welcome and supported,” Butterworth said.
Hunter Valley Grammar didn’t wish to disregard the “important role” mothers have, she added.
“We deeply value and respect all mothers and recognise their dedication to their families and our school community each and every day.”
Sure, by taking away the day set aside for actual mothers. Talk about being inclusive!
Although to be fair, I’m pretty sure that the school would accept men who identify as women and who have (God forbid) decided to adopt, as being ‘real’ mothers.
I read that social justice warriors have low intelligence and this more or less proves it.
And, since this is a private school, no doubt parents will be paying a fortune to keep their kids there. And no doubt the school will face an exodus of students as parents pull their kids out.
