CDC gets list of forbidden words: fetus, transgender, diversity

[Revmitchell]

The Trump administration is prohibiting officials at the nation’s top public health agency from using a list of seven words or phrases — including “fetus” and “transgender” — in any official documents being prepared for next year’s budget.

Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.”

Do they mean foetus?

 

[Revmitchell]

Nope pretty sure they meant just what they said.

Oh yes I just looked it up you spell it differently over there. Unless they don;t mean Foetus.

A lot of PC words on that list as well as words that the left uses to to make their lies sound official.

Good move.

Definition of censorship is suppression of expression by the government. This is it.

Suppression of private opinion. Would Trump telling Sarah Sanders, you can't use curse words x, y, and z in official communication be censorship? By your definition it would.

You need to actually read the op. Its not suppression of private opinion.

I read it. I agree with Trump. Maybe you should read the thread more carefully.

It's our favoured spelling.

Censorship?...... from the government ???!!!!! Whoda thunk it.

 

[Revmitchell]

There is no censorship, it is an absurd idea and a false claim. Good grief.

 

[JonC]

Yea....It's not censorship until someone uses those words and are censored. What's the appropriate word.....dictatorship?

It is pretty much the definition of censorship. Good grief.

That’s ridiculous. It’s an employer enforcing work center speech codes. And you two are giggling again.

More than likely correcting more Obama administration PC rules that ordered all agencies to use leftist code words.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get back to just plain English?

The CDC shouldn’t use the word fetus. What a win for America.
