Students' organization present guide for using inclusive language in schools

The national action committee for school students LAKS presented a guide for using inclusive language in schools. It includes tips like no longer using terms like “white and black schools” and saying “good morning everyone” instead of the gender-specific “good morning boys and girls.” LAKS wants to help educators use language that is more appropriate for the time and no longer focuses on gender. The guide advises against using terms like “disadvantaged pupil” or “disadvantage schools” because they could represent segregation and inequality of opportunity. “Handicapped child” is really not acceptable; instead, use something like “pupil with a disability.” The organization would also like to see less gender-focused language.
