Interior Department tells employees to stop using gendered terms such as ‘husband’ and ‘son’

The Interior Department has updated its "inclusive language guide" to include instructions for employees to stop using such gender-specific terms as "son" and "daughter," and replace them with more generalized terms such as "kid" or "child."
