Liberals are freeeaking out over a report that the Trump admin banned a few words from CDC reports.
More from CNN:
Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the very agency tasked with saving and protecting the lives of the most vulnerable, are now under order by the Trump administration to stop using words including “vulnerable” in 2018 budget documents, according to The Washington Post.
In a 90-minute briefing on Thursday, policy analysts at the nation’s leading public health institute were presented with the menu of seven banned words, an analyst told the paper. On the list: “diversity,” “fetus,” “transgender,” “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “science-based” and “evidence-based.”
Alternative word choices reportedly were presented in some cases. For instance, in lieu of “evidence-based” or “science-based,” an analyst might say, “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes,” the source said. But those working on the Zika virus’s effect on developing fetuses may be at a loss for appropriate — or acceptable — words.
Look I don’t know if it’s a good idea or not to ban words from government reports, but it’s NOT a DYSTOPIAN fascist totalitarian policy. If Trump were banning words from our public usage, then you got something. This is just dumb.
And remember when Obama struck the words “terrorism” among others from some reports? How come that wasn’t fascist and dystopian?
Everything is stupid, never forget.
