Here Are 7 Words That The Trump Administration Is Reportedly Banning At CDC
What the bleep? Lena Sun and Juliet Eilperin reported for the Washington Post that the Trump Administration has now identified 7 words that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can no longer use in official budget documents. According to the article, Alison Kelly from the CDC’s Office of Financial Services met with senior CDC officials for 90 minutes on Thursday and gave them the following list of banned words, not in any particular order because they all supposedly will be banned:
- vulnerable
- entitlement
- diversity
- transgender
- fetus
- evidence-based
- science-based
Oh, so all you have is more of the "But Obama did it too!"?
This is, as I understand it, the first time in the history of the CDC that this has happened. Banning words in political or social situations is bad. But to ban the use of words by a scientific/medical institution? Can you not see that this puts language above the actual scientific research done by one of the top medical organizations in the world?
Facts? What facts? Trump has banned certain WORDS. Nothing changes in the research. Only the words used to report it.
I can deal with it just fine. It is a nonsense argument. It is restricting the language used by one of the top research facilities in the world based on some version of playground arguments of "He started it!". Notice, there was no restriction on the actual research. So this accomplishes nothing except to support PC language. Which, if I am not mistaken, most conservatives (even the pseudo-conservatives) have ridiculed for years.
So no actual rebuttal, just the cry of "Fake News!"
