It's now a movement to call it "Special Persons' Day". To be inclusive, of course, of all kinds of families. Particularly for LGBT folks.

It's now a movement to call it "Special Persons' Day". To be inclusive, of course, of all kinds of families. Particularly for LGBT folks.

I said MANY times a long way back, that this EASILY applied to the "give an inch" theory". IMO, much of it started with the support for the LGBT community. No matter the right or wrong, which I'm not stating, everything else jumped on the heels. So many things and labels started right after that. Many changes happening, some for the good and some for the bad.

Ok, much more so for the bad. No thinking and just emotions running the show and changes made without any real thought. And that's when I started in with the society going around the swirly twirly porcelain bowl, and it hasn't stopped.

Sure, folks out there deserve inclusion and protection, but as a nation and a society we also need to be realistic. At times, things have simply gone too far, things that will change society and families as we know them. This one is a prime example, and I've been reading about this and not just pictures. It started in Australia from what I can tell but then instantly went viral and folks taking this shit seriously. And I DO understand that it sucks for kids that may not have fathers. But change it for EVERY father then? GTFOOH!!

I honestly don't think this would ever get enough traction to go anywhere. But still, the fact that there are many out there that would be willing at all. :rolleyes:

Growing Movement to Rename Father’s Day ‘Special Person’s Day’, Schools Adopt New Term

An ‘early child activist’ wants Father’s Day in Australia to be renamed ‘Special Person’s Day’ to be more “inclusive” to children in “special communities” who do not have fathers.

Australian academic Red Ruby Scarlet, convenor of the Social Justice in Early Childhood Activist Group, told todaytonight’s host that scrapping Father’s Day in favour of a non-specific ‘Special Person’s Day’ was not political correctness, but about “rights”.

“Why are they calling this political correctness when it’s in fact about our rights?” said Dr. Scarlet.

She claimed that “shifting the language around emotive days” makes school more “inclusive” to children from “special communities” including single parent families and same-sex parent families.

Host Rosanna Mangiarelli noted that a “growing number” of politically correct schools and kindergartens were adopting the move and asked the childhood activist what kind of feedback she was getting from parents and teachers.

WE cannot allow the FEW to believe they can control the MANY because they believe they are special, and must always be the VICTIMS of their own Sadness, they created.

Why is it that the older I get the more pissed off I seem to be. Oh wait, could it be because of idiotic cultural norms changing like this. It really pisses me off to think that we're being asked to give up Father's Day. I did not have a good father, but I had two awesome husbands who are great dads.

Father's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. In Catholic Europe, it has been celebrated on March 19 (St. Joseph's Day) since the Middle Ages. This celebration was brought by the Spanish and Portuguese to Latin America, where March 19 is often still used for it, though many countries in Europe and the Americas have adopted the U.S. date, which is the third Sunday of June (falling June 18 in 2017). It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March, April and June. It complements similar celebrations honoring family members, such as Mother's Day, Siblings Day and Grandparents Day.

Mother's Day is a celebration honouring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March or May. It complements similar celebrations honoring family members, such as Father's Day, Siblings Day, and Grandparents Day.

In the United States, celebration of Mother's Day began in the early 20th century. It is not related to the many celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration (originally a commemoration of Mother Church, not motherhood).[1][2][3][4] However, in some countries, Mother's Day has become synonymous with these older traditions.[5]

The modern American-derived version of Mother's Day has been criticized for having become too commercialized, especially by founder Anna Jarvis.[6][7]



And why did the loon not want both celebrated days abolished???
Truly people like her should be placed in an asylum, IMHO.
AND NEVER GIVEN ANY POWER OR CONSIDERATIONS --OTHER THAN THAT THEY ARE CRAZY..

My father and my mother were both down to earth, wonderful people. They loved their kids, tried to live a good life and did their family duty to the best of their ability to do so.
This witch- says take from me -to be inclusive to others?
ffing poppycock and should have been shot down as an insane idea.
Yet in this world of today, with liberals gaining more and more power- insanity is embraced..

This man says-- ffkk them!!!
I long for the day that we rise up as a whole and united force of decent humans, decent citizens , en masse- to stop this insanity and these ffing vermin!!--Tyr

There are no 'perfect moms', though mine came dang close. ;) There are no perfect dads, mine turned out more than ok-guess he just needed to get the hang of it. ;)

Yeah, some really, really suck as people, not being great moms and dads is probably related.

Most don't. Somehow, imperfections and all, they work out right for their kids. Mine, myself, most of my friends folks, and friends. Not scientific, but pretty broad range of people.

I bet that even holds for most of the weird arrangements, somehow the kids will probably be ok, with their own quirky outcomes.

What I don't get though is today's desire to wreck whatever has been before. It's just wrong.
