Vermont Health Department flamed for Facebook post saying parents shouldn’t call children ‘son’ or ‘daughter’

This morning, the Vermont State Department of Health posted on Facebook about the importance of inclusive language at school—and suggested that Vermonters call their children "child" or "kid" rather than "son" or "daughter."

The post did not go over well with some residents of the state. Vermonters opposed to using words other than "son" or "daughter" for their kids flooded the post's comment section with angry messages and snide remarks about the state government being too "woke."
