‘Political Correctness Gone Absolutely Amock’: Tennessee Backtracks After Replacing ‘Mother’ and ‘Father’ With ‘Parent 1′ and ‘Parent 2′

By Published on August 19, 2015

The governing agency that oversees documentation for the entirety of the Tennessee state court system has reportedly reversed a controversial decision to remove “mother” and “father” from an official form in exchange for the more general terms “parent 1″ and “parent 2.”

The Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts reportedly backtracked on its initial decision to amend the “permanent parenting plan” form — a document that details arrangements between parents in the event of divorce — after receiving feedback from the public, according to a statement given to conservative commentator Todd Starnes.

“After receiving feedback regarding a recent change made to the permanent parenting plan form, the AOC has reviewed the procedures and determined that, before making any changes to the form, the AOC should consult with the Domestic Relations Committee of the Tennessee Judicial Conference,” read a statement from the office. “We have reverted to the previous form and the Committee has been notified.”
