FRANCE BANS MUM & DAD

FROG lawmakers have voted to BAN the terms “mother” and “father” from forms in the nation’s schools – instead using the terms “Parent 1” and “Parent 2.”

France’s majority La République En Marche party – led by President Emmanue l Macron – said the move will bring schools into line with France’s 2013 same- sex marriage law.

LREM lawmaker Valérie Petit tromboned: “The amendment aims to anchor into law the family diversity of children in the administrative forms submitted in school.”

Rodrigo Arenas, co- chair of FCPE, the country’s largest federation of parents, called the amendment a “very good thing.”

He explained that the bill now “takes into account changing family situations” and “resonates with the law passed on the fight against harassment, because often in situations of child harassment, children have been targeted for not conforming.”

However, Xavier Breton, a conservative deputy for France’s Les Républicains, denounced the law as frightening, saying it was a result of “politically correct thinking that did not correspond to reality.”

He also contended that while his view might be considered outmoded by his opponents, 95% of legal unions in France were comprised of male- female couples.

Eric Ciotti, another rightwing lawmaker, called the law a “fantasy,” adding that he felt the “negotiation of gender” would “deconstruct the balance of society.”

France’s main far- right party, which progressed to the second round of the country’s 2017 presidential elections, has voiced PRESIDENT: Emmanuel Macron its disdain for the amendment.

The head of the Rassemblement National – formerly the National Front – said “the mask had fallen” from the face of the LREM, claiming they were showing their contempt for the family.
