Reject gender-inclusive language in agencies and schools
The BIW rejects gender-inclusive language forms in public administration, in laws, and in schools and daycare centers. Its reasoning is that they make official language harder to understand.
The BIW does not want gender-inclusive language in public offices. It says this language makes official letters harder to read. Laws should not use it either. Teachers and daycare staff should not use it.
The rejection covers how agencies write and speak to the public. It is also to apply to the state's laws and regulations. Teachers and daycare staff are to refrain from using it in schools and kindergartens.
