I have to deal with some similar issues as an educator.

I try to strike a balance. To me, if all they're asking you is to change the words you use without changing your actual practice, then that's a compromise I'm willing to accept.

I'm always figuring out how to speak in ways that are broadly appealing, without compromising my values. I think if you can do so skillfully, you can even persuade some people to slowly start seeing things your way, by using language that they can understand and find acceptable.
