When will we stop treating the English Language like it's 1984 and Newspeak. At what point does political correctness takeover. Remember when the State of Maine wanted to ban any word that starts with "SQU?" Now, "Grandfathered" will be banned from usage. You can pick most any Noun, Adjective, Adverbs in our language and I am sure you trace the word back to the first tine it was used and find at some time in its history it had a derogatory connotation. We have a lot more to worry about than a person or thing that is "Grandfathered". Now about the time and cost to change every place the word Grandfathered is used. Time to get a life!
