Senior Center Name Debate
Sunnyvale plans to name the new facility 'Older Adult Center' but many seniors are offended by the new name
|
What's in a name? A rose, by any other name, would still smell as sweet, some might argue. Well, maybe--but try to telling that to the seniors who are active in the local senior center. The seniors in Sunnyvale will get a brand new center. So far, so good. The problem is that instead of calling the new senior center a senior center, city officials are pushing for a new name--the older adult center. Ironically, the updated, politically correct name for people of a certain age is intended to make the center more appealing to younger seniors, those in the baby boomers set. But the current crop of seniors is offended by the new name. They prefer "seniors." And they're trying to get out their message.
