Mom and Dad are Dead...
...in California.
"Mom and Dad" as well as "husband and wife" effectively have been banned from California schools under a bill signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who with his signature also ordered public schools to allow boys to use girls restrooms and locker rooms, and vice versa, if they choose.

SEC. 39. Section 66260.7 is added to the Education Code, to read:
66260.7. "Gender" means sex, and includes a person's gender
identity and gender related appearance and behavior whether or not
stereotypically associated with the person's assigned sex at birth.
Gender in Kali is apparently assigned, like homework...
Fuck Iraq, we need to liberate California.
How about butt-buddies? Is that OK?
Mrs FM (a very sensible person) used to spend a lot of time in California. She feels no need to return. Nuff said?
Help! We're drowning!
That WND writeup simply isn't justified by the text of the law.
See here - my advice is to never, ever trust a WND writeup of a law without reading the whole law yourself.
Honestly, this applies to almost all news outlets; they're all terrible about legal reporting. But especially WND.
(In summary; someone could try and demand the schools ban "mom and dad", but it almost certainly wouldn't work, as the terms do not themselves in any way meet the criteria for prohibition, which is "to reflect adversely upon someone" because of membership in a protected group - and the bill itself most certainly does not ban such terms.
As for "assigned sex", doubtless that refers to the uncommon but by no means unknown cases of infants with anomalous or unclear genitalia, where a gender is picked by the doctor. Uncommon, but the people who draft definitions don't care, nor does it actually affect anything else.)
